Churchill`s books on the history of the Second World War were written as much to influence the present as to understand the past. In the 1950s, Churchill was obsessed with the possibility of nuclear war and wanted to find a way to defuse the Cold War before it turned into a third world war that he believed to be the end of humanity. One of the main themes of later volumes in the history of the Second World War was that it was possible to reach an agreement with the Soviet Union. Faced with these concerns, Churchill presented the percentage agreement as a triumph of state art, with the obvious consequence that it was the solution for the Cold War, with Western powers and the Soviet Union declaring themselves ready to respect each other`s spheres of influence. [86] In an interview with CL Sulzberger in 1956, Churchill stated that in his personal letter to Roosevelt on May 11, Churchill of Moscow wrote, "Nothing will be settled [during Churchill`s visit to Moscow], unless there is a preliminary agreement between Britain and Russia, subject to further discussions and a cast with you." In a telegram sent to Roosevelt on 11 October, Churchill wrote: "Stalin and I should try to have a common spirit across the Balkans in order to prevent a civil war from breaking out in several countries, so probably you and I sympathize with each other and with the United States of the U.J., that is, Stalin. I will keep you informed of all this and nothing will be settled, other than the provisional agreements between Britain and Russia, subject to further discussions and a merger agreement with you. On that basis, you will certainly not object to us trying to have a full meeting of minds with the Russians. [66] On the same day, Churchill sent a letter to Stalin saying that Britain had special ties to King Peter II and King George II of Greece, which made Britain a matter of honour to return to his throne, even though he suggested that the peoples of the Balkans had the right to choose any form of political system. they loved, except fascism. [67] Churchill stated that percentages are merely "a method that allows us to see in our thoughts how close we are together" and to find a way to get closer. [67] Upon his return to London on 12 October, Churchill declared that the agreement was "only an interim guide for the immediate war period. ...

[67] Churchill argues that Romania`s abandonment of the Soviet sphere took place solely because General Ion Antonescu had chosen to participate in Operation Barbarossa in June 1941. [67] By Eden, Molotov assured that the Bulgarians had to leave the parts of Yugoslavia and Greece they occupied, the problem of spheres of influence in Bulgaria and the Bulgarian ceasefire has not disappeared. [68] The Americans had discovered an interest in Bulgaria, and Secretary of State Cordell Hull insisted that a non-compliance treaty be concluded, which would give the US delegation to the ACC, which oversees Bulgaria, a right of review on an equal footing with the Soviet delegation. [60] Through the US Ambassador to Britain, John Gilbert Winant, at a meeting of the European Advisory Commission on 21 October 1944, he was put in a minority on the text of the Bulgarian ceasefire, he also said that it was not final and that the United States was ready to reopen the issue at the next meeting of the European Advisory Commission. [60] However, most historians believe that the agreement is extremely important.
