Potsdam Conference, 1945It was a long and complicated conference. The most important points were as follows.Truman (for the US), Stalin (for the USSR) and Attlee (for Britain) agreed:To divide Germany and Austria into three (or four) zones of occupation, with all the powers of occupation represented in Berlin abd Vienna. (Plans for breaking up Germany were rejected).That areas of Germany east of the Oder and Neisse Rivers were to be transferred to the USSR and Poland, and it was resolved that the German population should be deported.That the leading suspected war criminals were to be tried at Nuremberg.Reparations (mainly to the USSR) were fixed.Potsdam Conference was held at Cecilienhof, in Potsdam, Germany on 1945 by 3 countries, notably USSR headed by Joseph Stalin, USA led by president Harry S Truman and UK by Prime minister Winston Churchill later Clement Attlee.

How did the Teheran Yalta and Potsdam Conferences lead to the eruption of the Cold War?

Stalin (USSR), Roosevelt (USA) and Churchill (UK) met for the first time at Teheran (present-day Iran) at the end of 1943. They met again at Yalta in the Crimea in February 1945. At Yalta they agreed to divide Germany into four occupation zones (USSR, USA, UK and France) after the Nazis had surrendered, to punish war criminals, to agree reparations for war damage, to destroy German military power, and to hold a conference in San Francisco to set up a United Nations Organisation. In July 1945, the leaders of the Allies met at Potsdam in Berlin (Stalin (USSR), Truman (USA) and Attlee (UK) were the leaders at this meeting). At Potsdam the leaders confirmed much of what had been agreed at Yalta, but as at the earlier meeting there were disagreements over the detail of what they had discussed. You should be able to see that the meetings did not cause the Cold War, so much as provide opportunities for the Allies to disagree over how they wanted the post-war world to be organised. These disagreements contributed to the growing hostility between the major powers. As you know the major powers were only united in their determination to defeat the Nazis. Since that hostility did not lead to war between the major powers for various reasons, there was what was called a Cold War or state of undeclared war between the USSR and the USA, and each of their allies for the next 50 years.


Did Great Britain and France want the Germans to be punished for the destruction caused by World War 1?

yesFrance thought that they should bomb Germany back to the stone age after all of the damage and deaths they had made. Georges Clemenceau, France, was horrified after what Germany had done and thought they should suffer as much as France did in the war.America agreed that Germany should be punished, but not too harshly as they would seek revenge when they 'grow up' and rebuild.Britain agreed with both France and Germany but thought that they should squeeze the pips out of Germany. Lloyd-George realized that Germany would seek revenge if they were punished too hard but they shouldn't be punished too lightly in case they don't learn their lesson.So yes Britain and France did think that Germany should be punished.I hope this helped as it certainly helped me do my history homework.

What promise did Stalin break to roosevelt and churhill?

I believe you are referring to the agreements at the Yalta Conference Stalin agreed to join war against Japan once Germany had been defeated All men agreed to divide Germany into four zones, and also to divide Berlin in a similar way It was agreed that war criminals responsible for the Nazi Concentration Camps would be hunted down and punished It was agreed that all countries liberated from Nazi rule would hold ffree elections and implement the Government of their choice. The Big Three agreed to join the UN Eastern Europe was to be a 'Soviet Sphere of Influence' It should be noted that these promises were altered and some undone at the successing conference,, Potsdam, attended by Truman, Stalin, and Churchill (until he lost the election, at which point he was replaced by Clement Attlee) He also agreed to declare war on Japan.
