yalta conference
in february 1945, the "big three" allied leaders — roosevelt, churchill, and stalin — met at yalta on the black sea. there they agreed that, when the war in europe was over, germany would be divided into four occupation zones, to be controlled by american, british, french, and soviet forces. they also made plans for a united nations organization, as a successor to the failed league of nations, this time with the united states as a founding member. stalin was promised pieces of japan's empire in exchange for soviet help against japan after germany's surrender. unlike the treaty of versailles, which punished germany harshly after world war 1, this agreement emphasized rebuilding postwar europe.

1960 u-2 incident
in the fall of 1959, khrushchev accepted an invitation to visit the united states. the visit, and his meetings with president eisenhower, created hope for a permanent "thaw" in the cold war. to reduce tensions further, the two leaders planned a conference with great britain and france in may 1960, to discuss the divided nation of germany. but, on may 1, 1960, the russians shot down a high-altitude american spy plane called a u-2, which was flying over soviet territory. at first, the u.s. government said it was only a weather plane, but soviet leader khrushchev revealed that the pilot of the plane was alive and had confessed. the meeting that had been planned quickly collapsed, and the cold war continued.
