Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin met at the Livadia Palace near Yalta to plan Germany's defeat and the post-war order. They agreed on occupation zones, Soviet entry into the war against Japan and a conference to found the United Nations, and promised free elections in Poland. Soviet control of Eastern Europe made 'Yalta' a byword for the continent's division.

Travel advisory. Crimea has been occupied by Russia since 2014; Western governments advise against all travel, and entering other than via mainland Ukraine breaks Ukrainian law. We list this event for reference, and don't list guides here until travel is possible again.
