Yalta Conference
Big Three meeting
The Yalta Conference was the 1945 meeting of Allied leaders Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin in Crimea to plan the postwar reorganization of Europe.
The conference shaped Cold War boundaries—dividing Germany, establishing Soviet influence in Eastern Europe, and creating the framework for the United Nations.
Yalta often evokes controversy over whether the West conceded too much to Stalin.
