Shaping the Post-War World II: The Yalta Conference of 1945 and Its Global Impact

This paper investigates the Yalta Conference that took place in February 1945, where leaders from the United States, Soviet Union, and Great Britain gathered to shape the future order after World War II. It explores the discussions and decisions that influenced Eastern Europe's landscape, particularly Poland, as well as the establishment of the United Nations. Additionally, this study delves into topics such as Germany's treatment after the war, atomic diplomacy, colonial governance, and the fate of prisoners of war. The outcomes of this conference did not impact the immediate post-war period but also laid down the foundations for subsequent Cold War tensions. Through an analysis of aspects of this conference and contrasting priorities among superpowers, this research sheds light on dynamics within Allied relations and their long-lasting geopolitical consequences.
