The early Cold War in a counterfactual where Roosevelt survives

If Franklin D. Roosevelt had lived several more years, how might his survival have changed the early Cold War?

The discussion considers possible effects on diplomacy with Stalin while retaining Soviet power, British resource limits and Roosevelt's health as constraints.

The scenario extends Franklin D. Roosevelt's life into the early Cold War. The discussion considers whether his wartime relationship with Joseph Stalin would affect negotiations over Eastern Europe, Berlin and Yugoslavia. Soviet control on the ground and Britain's limited manpower remain part of the imagined setting. Roosevelt's health and a possible retirement in 1948 introduce a separate branch involving Harry Truman and Douglas MacArthur. These are alternative historical premises, and the exchange does not establish what would have occurred.
