| The Yalta Conference, held in February 1945, was a pivotal meeting between the leaders of the Allied powers: U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin. Convened in the Crimean city of Yalta, the conference aimed to plan the final defeat of Nazi Germany and outline the post-war order. Key agreements included the division of Germany into occupation zones, the establishment of the United Nations, and the terms for Soviet entry into the war against Japan. The Yalta Conference significantly shaped the geopolitical landscape of the post-war world and laid the groundwork for the Cold War. |
