History World War Ii Questions
The Yalta Conference, held in February 1945, was significant in World War II as it brought together the leaders of the Allied powers - Franklin D. Roosevelt (USA), Winston Churchill (UK), and Joseph Stalin (USSR). The conference aimed to discuss the post-war reorganization of Europe and the establishment of a new world order. The key outcomes of the conference included the agreement on the division of Germany into occupation zones, the commitment to hold free elections in Eastern European countries, the establishment of the United Nations, and the decision to join the war against Japan.
