The Yalta Conference was an Allied leaders summit held in the port city of Yalta, in the Crimean peninsula, the Soviet Union, from February 4 to February 11, 1945, during World War II. There, US President Franklin D Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet Premier Josef Stalin agreed on the following points:
1) demanding the Third Reich unconditional surrender;
2) Germany would have to be demilitarized and the Nazi Party dissolved and forbidden during the postwar years;
3) France would have a fourth occupation zone in the conquered country as plans were drawn up to divide Germany into four zones of occupations;
4) Germany would have to do war reparations for damage done to Allied countries, including forced labor in the Soviet Union.
During the Yalta Conference, it was also agreed on Poland being politically organized on a democratic basis. Furthermore, Nazi leaders would be tried for war crimes and the Soviet Union committed to declare war on Japan, opening a far-east front against the Imperial Japanese Army, and to take part in the future United Nations.
