The Crimea was the location of the [[Crimean War]] of 1853-56 in which British, French, Sardinian and Turkish forces fought Russia in a war sparked by an abstruse dispute over the question of custodianship of the Holy Places in [[Jerusalem]]. When [[Lenin]] took power through revolution, he at first ceded Ukraine to [[Germany]] at the [[Treaty of Brest-Litovsk]]. Later the [[Treaty of Versailles]] did not recognize the cessation. Lenin then established a system of autonomous republics in which he separated Ukraine and [[Belarus]] from the former Russian Empire. After [[Nikita Khrushchev]] took power in 1953, he gave Crimea to Ukraine. The peninsula was also the location of heavy fighting during the [[Second World War]]. It contains the resort town of [[Yalta]], location of the [[Yalta Conference]] of February 1945, attended by [[Winston Churchill|Churchill]], Roosevelt and [[Joseph Stalin|Stalin]].
