If it had been up to Churchill there would have been nothing to divide.
All of Europe would have been for Stalin.
It was Roosevelt who forced the Normandy invasion.

were so fed up with British hesitations and delaying tactics
that they seriously considered giving up on Europe.
(and doing Japan first)

You may want to have a look at
Nigel Hamilton, Commander In Chief: FDR's Battle with Churchill, 1943
(FDR at War Book 2)
There is also a good review of it at Amazon.
