History of Oceania

Who were the big three and what countries did they represent?

The Big Three refers to the three leaders who were the primary decision-makers at the Yalta Conference in 1945, where they discussed the post-World War II political and territorial arrangements. These leaders represented the three most powerful countries at the time:

1. Franklin D. Roosevelt (United States): President of the United States.

2. Joseph Stalin (Soviet Union): General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

3. Winston Churchill (United Kingdom): Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

These three leaders held significant influence in shaping the post-war world order, negotiating on various matters such as the division of Germany, the formation of the United Nations, and the establishment of spheres of influence in Eastern Europe and Asia.
