Yalta Conference - 1995 Mint Imperforate Issue

February 4, 1945 During the seven-day summit at the Black Sea port of Yalta, President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill and Premier Joseph Stalin hammered out a postwar treaty agreement and prepared for the aftermath of war. Their discussions included territorial rights concerning the occupation of Germany, the new Polish government and the Soviet Union’s admission to the United Nations.
