AI notes: On February 7, 1945, during the Yalta Conference on the Black Sea in Crimea, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin met with their senior advisors to coordinate the final stages of World War II and to plan the postwar order. The leaders discussed strategies for the unconditional defeat of Nazi Germany, including the division of Germany into occupation zones, the demilitarization and reparations of the defeated state, and the establishment of mechanisms to prevent future aggression. They also addressed the future of Eastern Europe, particularly Poland, agreeing in principle to hold free elections—though the interpretation of this would later spark tensions. In addition, the conference set the stage for the Soviet Union’s entry into the war against Japan after Germany’s surrender, in exchange for territorial concessions, and laid the groundwork for the United Nations, including arrangements for Security Council voting. The discussions around February 7 reflected both cooperation and emerging tensions among the “Big Three,” shaping the geopolitical landscape and ultimately influencing the onset of the Cold War.
