Yalta- 1945
The Yalta Conference of February 1945 was the last meeting between Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt. The main decision made at this conference regarded Germany's peacetime status: she would be "denazified", demilitarised and occupied. Britain, France, America, and Russia would then divide the new Germany and Austria among themselves. Furthermore, Berlin and Vienna would be split up into occupation zones too, with free elections planned in all of the liberated states of Eastern Europe. Stalin also gave his promise to declare war on Japan, two to three months after Germany's surrender. However, issues such as reparations and the future Polish border were left to a future conference. Yalta also called for the creation of the modern United Nations, an organisation to replace the defunct League of Nations.
