Check this out! The conclusions of the conference are listed therein.

It was really just a show of solidarity between the Allies. It gave the first face-to-face for the "Big Three" (Stalin, Roosevelt, Churchill) and it gave Stalin a chance to rant at the other two. One of the decisions was that the US and GB would invade the European mainland via France, not Denmark, Holland, or Norway. In exchange, Stalin promised to declare war on Japan after Germany was subdued. The Allies issued the first of their "unconditional surrender" statements, but most people felt that that was just rhetoric.
