What Happened at Yalta?

Summary/Abstract: The invitation to give a talk at the Central European University while I am in Budapest was sprung upon me only a week ago by the American Embassy. After a pause I thought I might as well talk of something about which there are so many legends both in the United States and in Europe, including Hungary. That is, this dreadful thing, Yalta, and the division of Europe. About this I will have a fair amount to say, necessarily briefly but, I hope, not superficially. I shall try to proceed from what it was that happened to when it happened, to how it happened, to why it happened.
