The Yalta Conference of 1945 was a meeting between the leaders of the Allied Powers of World War II, namely the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union. The conference was held in the Soviet city of Yalta, located in the Crimean peninsula. The Potsdam Conference of 1945 was another meeting between the Allied Powers, held in the German city of Potsdam. This conference was held shortly after the end of the war in Europe, and was focused on the post-war reorganization of Germany and other European countries. Both conferences were important in determining the future of Europe after the war.
