Yalta Conference Concludes

Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin concluded eight days of negotiations at the Crimean resort of Yalta, agreeing on the post-war division of Europe, Soviet entry into the Pacific War, and the founding of the United Nations.

Yalta's agreements shaped the Cold War world order for the next 45 years, with critics arguing Roosevelt conceded too much to Stalin over Eastern Europe.

Outcome

Post-war world order established; Cold War division begins
