Yalta

Yalta refers to a significant conference held in February 1945 near Crimea, where Allied leaders—FDR (USA), Churchill (UK), and Stalin (USSR)—met during World War II. They discussed post-war plans, including the division of Germany, the establishment of the United Nations, and the reorganization of Eastern Europe. The agreements shaped the geopolitical landscape but also led to tensions, especially as Eastern European countries came under Soviet influence. Yalta was crucial in shaping the ending stages of the war and the subsequent Cold War period.
