At the end of World War Two, Poland was subjugated by the Soviet Union (Stalin). Poland had been an ally (on the winning side), never the less, it was treated by Stalin as an enemy. Stalin murdered much of the Polish military & civilian leadership and replaced them with communist puppets. Stalin was one of the most ruthless, dangerous, and murderous dictators in world history. Probably the least trustworthy person alive during Truman's Presidency.
Truman disliked Stalin because he was a dictator who murdered millions of people. Truman was a humanitarian who exposed fraud and wartime corruption.
Truman did not like Russian in general, but he didn't trust Stalin because Stalin made it clear that the USSR will control Eastern Europe countries.
Because of political and other differences.
Stalin was a communist and the Cold War was just developing. He also felt Stalin had taken advantage of FDR because he was ill.
im stiill trying to find out about that
Atlee, Truman and Stalin...were the main leaders at the Potsdam conference although Churchill did sit through some meetings.
Joseph Stalin
Joseph Stalin was the dictator of the USSR and Harry S Truman was the President of the US at the time the Cold War began, at the end of WW II, and both of these leaders created the national policies upon which the Cold War was based.
there was three leaders that met in potsdam in July of 1945,Winston churchill,Joseph Stalin,and harry Truman.
Harry Truman (US), Winston Churchill (UK), and Joseph Stalin (Soviet Union) met in Postdam from 17 July to 2 August 1945.
Truman actually gave the command to detonate the first nuclear weapon & he was the US president in office when man left the old world (conventional) and crossed into the atomic age in 1945. When that A-Bomb went off, the cold war began...even though the Soviets didn't get their bomb until 1949 (stolen from the US via spies).
