The Yalta Conference took place in February 1945 during World War II, where leaders from the United States, United Kingdom, and Soviet Union met to discuss the post-war reorganization of Europe. The main figures were Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin. They aimed to establish a framework for peace and to address the fate of countries liberated from Nazi control. At the conference, the leaders agreed on several key issues, including the division of Germany into occupation zones and the formation of the United Nations to promote international cooperation. The decisions made at Yalta significantly influenced the geopolitical landscape of Europe in the following decades.
