At the Potsdam Conference in July-August 1945, the Allies—principally the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union—discussed the post-World War II order and the reconstruction of Europe. One of the key arguments made by the Allies, particularly the U.S. and the U.K., was the necessity of rebuilding Germany in a way that would prevent future aggression while also avoiding the mistakes made after World War I with the Treaty of Versailles. This involved decisions on demilitarization, denazification, and reparations. The U.S., led by President Truman, also argued for a free-market system in Germany, hoping to restore economic stability and ensure a buffer against the spread of communism in Europe, particularly in light of Soviet ambitions. The Soviets, under Stalin, sought heavy reparations from Germany to rebuild the USSR's war-torn economy and expand their influence in Eastern Europe. This disagreement over how to handle Germany's future was a key argument at Potsdam, setting the stage for the emerging Cold War. Another important argument was how to deal with Japan, as the conference occurred just before the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ultimately leading to Japan's surrender.
