Tagline: Allies plan the post-war world.
The Yalta Conference, held in February 1945, brought together the “Big Three” Allied leaders: Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin. The leaders discussed the final defeat of Nazi Germany, post-war occupation plans, and the establishment of the United Nations. Agreements included dividing Germany into occupation zones, holding war crime trials, and allowing free elections in Eastern Europe. However, tensions arose over the extent of Soviet influence in Eastern Europe, foreshadowing the Cold War. The Yalta Conference was a critical moment in shaping the geopolitical landscape of the post-war era, highlighting both cooperation and emerging divisions among the Allies.
