Truman's confrontation with Stalin at the Potsdam Conference in July-August 1945 marked a significant turning point in US-Soviet relations, as it highlighted deepening ideological rifts and differing post-war visions. Truman's firm stance on issues like reparations for Germany and the future of Eastern Europe led to increasing distrust between the two superpowers. This tension also affected relationships with US allies, as Western nations became more wary of Stalin's intentions, ultimately contributing to the formation of a unified stance against Soviet expansionism in the early Cold War. The confrontation set the stage for a gradual shift from wartime cooperation to a more adversarial relationship.
