00:31 Historical Background
02:03 The Yalta Conference
03:59 Impacts of the Yalta Conference

The Yalta Conference occurred when World War 2 was near an end with the inevitable victory of the Allied powers led by the so-called "Big Three" - the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union.

Formed by the end of 1941, the Big Three, also called the Grand Alliance, played the largest role in prosecuting the war against the Axis powers led by Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and Fascist Italy.

The Yalta Conference was the second of these three wartime conferences.

The first meeting gathering the Big Three Allied leaders: Joseph Stalin, Franklin Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill was the Tehran Conference, codenamed 'Eureka.'

Following the Tehran Conference, in February 1945, the trio met again at the Yalta Conference, also known as the Crimea Conference, taking place at Yalta in Crimea.

One of the conference’s biggest outcomes was the division of Germany into four controlled zones, occupied by the US, Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union. Berlin, Germany’s capital, was further divided into four similar occupation zones.

The status of Poland was also put on the table. Although pledging to permit free elections in Poland, Stalin did not agree to return the Poland territory it had annexed in 1939. He used the Curzon Line as Poland’s eastern border, thereby keeping all Ukrainian and Belorussian territories within the USSR’s sphere of influence.

During the conference, the Soviet Union agreed to join the war against the Empire of Japan and committed to participating in the United Nations which was officially established on October 24, 1945.

After the Yalta Conference, tension over European issues deteriorated the relations between the United States (and Great Britain) and the Soviet Union.

What do you think is the decisive factor leading to the broken US-Soviet Union relations?

Why is Ireland highlighted as being part of the United Kingdom in 1946? 4:40 Ireland had been independent since 1921..

2:17 - "now in Ukraine" - that's false, Yalta is still in Russia.

As a Mongolian, Yalta conference was live saver. Stalin has made it clear to if status quo of Outer Mongolia isn’t to be accepted by allies, he wouldn’t open Manchurian frontier to fight of Japanese army. Before that most of the world still believed that Mongolia was break away province of China. Yalta conference maybe left the expression of Mongolia being satellite state of USSR, but it definitely helped the independence of our country.

It was globally known as the Yalta Conference but it was secretly known as Rendezvous with Sophia. Aka Golden Girls Reference and if you know it, then your a true person of culture.

Thanks for this awesome video! Great summary. I was wanting to know more about the Yalta Conference and this helped a lot. To me, there's something really cool about seeing the "Big 3" having come together in such dire times. It's too bad its results ended up being controversial.

2 мировая начилась 1 сентяря с Разделом Польши второе почему небыло показана как изменялася
Фронт со стороны СССР европы кто сколько обронялся хотябы Польшу Францию можно было впехнуть. Вовторых потерии основных игроков и потери всех остольных хотябы мельком Китай потерял в этой войне 50милионов человек к приеру СССР 27милионов Германия 7милионов. Ошибки второй мировой это всеобщее горе поэтому к вопросу нужно подходить серёзней делай большии ролики но с меньшими ошибками. У меня всё всем мирного неба.
