At the beginning of the Yalta Conference on February 4, 1945, the "Big Three" were optimistic: victory was certain, and the agreement they had reached seemed likely to preserve the values ​​for which they had fought.

However, within just a few months, nothing would remain of this agreement except irreconcilable differences. United in war, the allies would find themselves divided and rivals in peacetime. How can one explain such a rapid failure of real efforts to reach agreement? The Yalta Conference of 1945–1953 ushered in a new world order, devised by three men seeking a lasting peace... one that would inevitably lead to a Cold War.

Combining archival footage, photographs, original letters, and unique testimonies, these two episodes revisit this decisive period in history. A full immersion into the post-war years and the emerging new world order.Источник видео:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tOHdvXX-YM
