1945 Conference of the Allied Leaders

The 1945 Conference of the Allied Leaders, held in Yalta, was a meeting where key World War II allies—primarily the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union—discussed post-war plans. They agreed on how to divide Germany into zones of occupation, planned for the United Nations to maintain peace, and debated how to handle defeated Axis powers. The conference aimed to coordinate efforts for ending the war and shaping a peaceful post-war world, setting the stage for major political changes in Europe and establishing foundations for international cooperation.
