How did the Yalta conference and the Potsdam conference lead to increased tension in Europe?
The Yalta Conference in February 1945 established the division of Europe into spheres of influence, creating tensions as it left Eastern Europe predominantly under Soviet control, contradicting the principles of self-determination. The subsequent Potsdam Conference in July-August 1945 further intensified these tensions, as disagreements over post-war reparations and territorial adjustments revealed growing mistrust between the Soviet Union and the Western Allies. The differing visions for Europe’s future, particularly regarding Germany's fate, solidified the divide that would lead to the Cold War. These conferences highlighted the ideological rift and set the stage for the geopolitical conflicts that followed.
