YAlta COnference
The Yalta Conference took
place on Crimea Russia from February 4-11, 1945, during World War II. The US
president Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and
Soviet Premier Stalin attended to make important decisions regarding the future
progress of the war and postwar world.
Above are Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Stalin. The big three. FDR wanted to establish the lend lease act where the president could authorize the shipment of supplies to any country who was struggling against the Axis powers.
Stalin agreed to free elections in Poland, entering a war against Japan, and collaborating with the establishment of the United Nations.
Yalta is important to the Cold War because it was there that the Soviet Union began to make promises they could not keep, like that they were going to come into the war against Japan. Also the USSR got to keep Poland, a sign of appeasement and how the US and USSR would further issues.
