Was it the founding of the United Nations in 1945 or the Yalta meeting (two months earlier) between Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin that came to determine what the world went through during the second half of the 20th century?
ps: And here, I am not necessarily talking about the official records that is left from that meeting, but rather the change in the behavior of these world powers afterwards.
Was Yalta an agreement of change or one of preserving the status quo (i.e. sharing the world between zones of influence for the Soviet Union and the United States of America)?
Was the Vietnam war the Vietnamese struggle for independence or was it a symbol of third world's non-acceptance of the Yalta status quo? If the former, what did the United States have to do with it?
