On February 4, 1945, the Yalta Conference began in Crimea, marking a critical juncture in 20th-century geopolitics as Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin negotiated the reorganization of post-war Europe. This meeting eventually highlighted the deep-seated tensions that would evolve into the Cold War. Beyond the halls of diplomacy, this day marks the birth of Rosa Parks in 1913, whose activism fundamentally altered the American civil rights landscape, and aviator Charles Lindbergh in 1902, whose solo transatlantic flight changed the future of travel. In the realm of technology, February 4, 2004, saw the launch of Facebook, a site that began as a college network and grew into a global social media behemoth.
