jul 17, 1945 - POTSDAM CONFERENCE
Description:
The “Big Three” had changed – Roosevelt the American president had died and wasreplaced with Truman, and Churchill the British prime minister lost the election during
the conference and was replaced with Atlee. Stalin began to
feel that he was not being shown the respect he deserved,
especially by Truman, who attempted to intimidate Stalin with
the news of the successful Atomic Bomb test in the USA. The
conference ended hastily so that Truman could employ his new
weapon.
