Potsdam Conference (jul 12, 1945 – aug 12, 1945)
Description:
 Revealed the growing tensions between the 
US and the USSR → The US was very 
suspicious of the USSR’s intentions in Europe especially because of how Stalin’s armies had
occupied most of Eastern Europe
Heavy disagreement between Truman and 
Stalin about postwar Germany
The conference was not very successful and 
did not achieve anything → “matters” were 
the same after the meeting as they had been 
before it
