Yalta Conference (4 févr. 1945 – 11 févr. 1945)

Description:

The Yalta Conference was a meeting between U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the re-establishment of the nations of war-torn Europe, especially focusing on German reparations and post-war occupation. Though they all had one main goal, each of the big three had their own agenda's for the conference. Roosevelt wanted Soviet support in the U.S. Pacific War against Japan and Soviet participation in the UN; Churchill pressed for free elections and democratic governments in Eastern and Central Europe (specifically Poland); and Stalin demanded a Soviet sphere of political influence in Eastern and Central Europe. Also during the conference, they decided that Germany would undergo demilitarization and denazification and be split into four occupied zones: Soviet, British, French, and American zones.
