Big Three at Yalta

1
Big Three at Yalta With victory over Nazi Germany
assured, the leaders of the Soviet Union,
Britain, and the United States (Stalin, Winston
Churchill, and Franklin D. Roosevelt) were in
reasonable spirits (though Roosevelt was ailing)
when they met at Yalta, a Black Sea resort in the
Soviet Union, in February 1945. Important sources
of friction among them were evident at the
meeting, but the differences that led to the Cold
War did not seem paramount at this point. The
Yalta conference proved to be the last meeting of
the three leaders.
