The '''Yalta Conference''' was the meeting in [[February]] of 1945, the last year of [[World War II]], between [[President]] [[Franklin Roosevelt]], [[Union of Soviet Socialist Republics|Soviet]] Premier [[Joseph Stalin]] and [[Great Britain|British]] [[Prime Minister]] [[Winston Churchill]] (the big three) at Yalta on the Crimean Peninsula in the USSR. It was during this conference that Roosevelt saw a significant decrease in his health. Upon his return to the [[United States]], he soon became very ill and died in April.

The main agreement of the conference regarded the decision for an unconditional surrender of the [[Nazi]]s. They agreed to divide [[Germany]] into four occupation zones, with [[Berlin]] itself further divided into zones. They also agreed that free elections would be held in Soviet controlled Eastern [[Europe]], but Stalin never had any intention of fulfilling this promise. The USSR also agreed to take part in the war against [[Japan]], though they played a negligible role.
