The partition of Europe between the two victors of WW2 (USA and USSR) was part of the peace, not a state of war. The cold war wasn't a war inside Europe but between two rival superpowers; the Yugoslavia war wasn't one between EU countries but a civil war result of a change in external conditions.

Yalta happened well after everyone had been killed and the dust settled. Roosevelt chickened out. Go visit the Occupation museum in Riga for the actual history, instead of reading US text books.
