At the Yalta Conference, which took place in February 1945, the leaders of the Allied powers, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union, discussed the post-war reorganization of Europe and other territories. One of the crucial agreements reached at this conference was regarding Japan and its territories that had been occupied during the war.

China was recognized as one of the major powers and was promised several territorial concessions in exchange for entering the war against Japan in the Pacific. The conference acknowledged China’s role in the Allied efforts and considered its historical claims to regions such as Manchuria and Taiwan. This acknowledgment was significant in establishing China’s status as a key player in post-war negotiations and its position in the international arena following the war.

The other countries mentioned, while involved in World War II and the discussions at Yalta, did not receive similar territorial concessions for engaging in the Pacific War specifically. Therefore, China is the correct answer as it was directly linked to the negotiations and agreements made about territorial claims in exchange for military involvement.
