The Yalta Conference, held in February 1945, resulted in agreements among the leaders of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union regarding the post-war reorganization of Europe. Key outcomes included the decision to divide Germany into occupation zones, the establishment of the United Nations, and Stalin's commitment to join the war against Japan after Germany's defeat. The conference also laid the groundwork for tensions during the Cold War, as differing visions for European governance emerged, illustrating the fragile alliances that developed during World War II.
