The Yalta Conference was held in February 1945 in Crimea, Ukraine and brought together the "Big Three" Allied leaders - President Franklin Roosevelt of the United States, Prime Minister Winston Churchill of the United Kingdom, and Premier Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union. The goals of the conference were to discuss the post-war reorganization of Germany and issues of reestablishing security and stability in Europe. Some of the key agreements reached included dividing Germany into occupation zones, the Soviet Union joining the United Nations and declaring war against Japan, and the establishment of the United Nations as an international organization dedicated to global peace and security.
