The Potsdam Conference, held from July 17 to August 2, 1945, brought together the leaders of the Allied powers—U.S. President Harry S. Truman, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (and later Clement Attlee), and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin—to discuss the post-war order in Europe and the administration of Germany. Key decisions included the demilitarization and denazification of Germany, the establishment of borders for Poland, and agreements on reparations. The conference also addressed the ongoing war in the Pacific and the need for Japan's unconditional surrender. Tensions emerged over differing visions for post-war Europe, foreshadowing the Cold War.
Winston Churchill did not complete the Potsdam Conference because he was voted out of office in the British general election held on July 5, 1945, just days after the conference began. His Conservative Party lost to the Labour Party, led by Clement Attlee, who succeeded him as Prime Minister. As a result, Churchill left Potsdam early to return to Britain to address the political transition.
There was not a Trizonia conference. The Trizoniawas the name of a post WWII area of Germany, which was eventually occupied by the UK, the US, and France. During the Potsdam or Berlin Conference, the Bizonia (an area of Germany, occupied by the US and the UK, military) was zoned, and then rezoned to include France's military, hence the name "Trizonia".The occupation was primarily in what later became West Germany, and lasted from 1945 (after Nazi Germany was defeated by the Allied powers.) through 1949.There were three important conferences, which took place between the leaders of the US, the UK, and the Soviet Union, (the "Big Three") (Churchill, Roosevelt, and Stalin.) between 1943 and 1945.The Tehran conference took place during WWII, in 1943. After Nazi Germany was defeated, the Yalta conference took place, in February of 1945. The last of the three conferences was the Potsdam Conference or the Berlin Conference, which took place approximately 5 months after the Yalta Conference. During the Potsdam conference, the Trizonia area, was created as a result of post war zoning.The purpose of the Yalta and Potsdam Conferences, was to decide where post war zoning, mainly in Germany, Poland and Eastern Europe, would be drawn and set.it is the Bi zone, or Bizonia, was the combination of the American and the British occupation zones during the occupation of Germany after World War II.
