The Yalta Conference, eight days in February 1945, shaped the world for the next fifty years and left a legacy that we live with still. It was the last conference of the ‘big three’ – Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt – before the end of the Second World War. The Russians were fifty miles from Berlin, the British and Americans 375 miles. The aim of the conference was to decide the final course of war and to agree post war arrangements. The British and Americans had failed to agree a common agenda, whereas Stalin knew exactly what he wanted – and got most of it.
This is the first of two fascinating lectures dealing with the Cold War, presented by our expert guest speaker, Major Gordon Corrigan MBE.
