Charles de Gaulle
Charles de Gaulle was a French army officer and statesman who led the French Resistance against Nazi occupation during World War II and later became the President of France. His disdain for the Yalta Conference's decisions stemmed from a belief that it marginalized France’s role in post-war Europe, and he perpetuated the myth of Yalta as a betrayal of Eastern European nations.
Born on Nov 22, 1890 (134 years old)
