The Yalta Conference of February 1945 brought Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin together in Crimea to carve up the postwar world before the war was even over. The agreements reached there — on Soviet entry into the Pacific war, the partition of Germany, and the fate of Eastern Europe — were immediately controversial, with critics arguing Roosevelt conceded too much to Stalin in exchange for promises the Soviets had no intention of keeping. Roosevelt was dead within two months; Churchill lost the general election before the formal surrender documents were signed.
Gibraltar's commemorative program in this period leaned heavily on WWII anniversaries. KM#1184 is part of a broader 2005 series tied to the sixtieth anniversary of the war's end.
