About This Lesson
Learning About the Impact of Yalta
The Yalta Conference of February 1945 brought Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin together to shape the post-war world, resulting in key decisions like the division of Germany, the creation of the United Nations, and Soviet control over Eastern Europe—setting the stage for the Cold War. In this Yalta Conference lesson plan, students will explore the leaders' goals, analyze the conference’s outcomes, and connect its legacy to modern diplomacy through discussions, group activities, and a media literacy exercise.
