Twitter Ye Not - The Yalta Agreement


Twitter Ye Not - The Yalta Agreement

A regular piece for the Daily Mail Weekend magazine about how figures in history might have twittered or tweeted or whatever, had they the chance, inclination and technology.

On the 11th February 1945, Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin signed the Yalta Agreement, which dictated how Europe would be ruled after the defeat of nazi Germany. Even at its signing, critics were already sceptical about Stalin's motives and his willingness to comply with Yalta's stipulations, as a Twitter feed from that time would no doubt have reflected.

I've shown old and sickly FDR of the USA on one side, Joseph Stalin of the USSR on the other. Uncle Joe is crossing his fingers, as he doesn't plan on keeping his word...

Hahaha! I got a great laugh out of it! Thanks for sharing! I just finished an entire semester studying the Yalta Conference and this about sums it up! ;) Love the cell phones and the fingers crossed bit! ;)
