Originally, Truman was resistant to appear at an international conference; however, postwar complications with the Soviet Union made it imperative that the President meet with the war Allies.
Therefore, Truman, along with Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill met in Potsdam, Germany in July to confer with other European leaders on the outcome of Europe after Germany’s unconditional surrender.

Soon after the Yalta Conference, where the decision was made by the Allies to try German leaders as war criminals, the Soviet Union not only began consolidating its power and control over most of Eastern Europe, but made accusations that the Western Allies had been clandestinely negotiating with Germany without its input. President Truman apparently believed (at least early on) that he could persuade Stalin to be less aggressive in his land grabs and to become more conciliatory and reasonable. However, as President Truman’s foreign policy advisors, W. Averell Harriman and George Kennan, forewarned, the Soviet Union was determined to expand its empire and spread its communist ideology to as many nations as possible despite objections from the Allies. Even more ominous was that once this expansionist policy was enacted, it would be almost impossible to contain. When Truman cancelled the Lend- Lease Act in May 1.
Soviet Union, Stalin became more angered, which only furthered the Soviet’s resolve toward communist expansionism over all of Eastern Europe. The opening of the Potsdam Conference was held as the war against the Japanese was continuing at full force.
During the conference, Truman briefed the Allies on the progress of the war against Japan led by General Douglas Mac. Arthur. The Allied powers agreed that the war would end only after an unconditional surrender.
Edward Montgomery Clift (nicknamed 'Monty' his entire life) was born on October 17, 1920 in Omaha, Nebraska, just after his twin sister Roberta and. Harry Truman became President of the United States in April of 1945, just prior to the fall of Germany. On May 7, 1945, less than a month after his inauguration. The 34th Academy Awards, honoring the best in film for 1961, were held on April 9, 1962, at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, California.
Apprehensive of a fruitless and bloody last defense of the home islands by the Japanese, the Allies accepted Stalin’s renewed guarantee to join the war against Japan. President Truman contacted Stalin on July 2. However, the Soviet dictator appeared disinterested in the news. On July 2. 6, 1. 94.
British and Americans, without consulting the Soviet Union, demanded in the Potsdam Declaration that Japan submit to an unconditional surrender. B. THE GERMAN QUESTIONThe Allies’ main concern after Germany’s surrender was determining the most effective way to disarm and de- Nazify Germany and bring charges against the remaining Nazi leaders for war crimes. During the London Conference from June 2.
August 8, 1. 94. 5, the Allies formulated the idea of a Military Tribunal and a special international trial. However, negotiations were hindered by the Soviet desire for collective retribution as opposed to the U. S. idea to prosecute a finite group of Nazi leaders for “conspiracy” to commit war crimes. Unfortunately, the Allies chose the latter, and the Soviet proposal to punish all of the guilty was deemed unworkable. Administration of German businesses was to be assigned to an Allied Control Council in Berlin, made up of British, French, Soviet, and American representatives of the four occupied zones. The Control Council’s stated purpose was to preside over and administer the affairs of the defeated nation as a single economic entity. However, the precise nature of a future German government structure continued to be vague, and the verbal agreement on German unity militated against Stalin’s persistence to maintain the Soviet zone under communist authority.
The Soviet Union eventually relented on its more persistent claims for reparations from Germany when it was able to obtain industrial equipment from the western zones, which was facilitated by the United States in May 1. More dangerous for the future unity of Germany, however, was the Allies’ agreement to divide Berlin into four sectors.
Since the Allies did not condition a land corridor or access roads to guarantee freedom of movement between their respective zones, in 1. Soviet Union shrewdly erected the infamous “Berlin Wall,” segregating East Germany from West Germany. C. THE UNITED NATIONSPresident Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the Democratic Party, and most European leaders had long sought for an international organization to supersede the modest efforts of the League of Nations. Truman was elated that this utopian dream had finally come to fruition when he addressed the opening session of the San Francisco Conference in April 1. United Nation’s (U. N.) Charter, and its subsequent signing on June 2. Although passed by the United States Senate and ratified on July 2.
United States nor the Soviet Union approved the idea for an international police force. Notwithstanding, the Charter allowed for police action against “an aggressor nation state.”9 To Truman and most European leaders, the U.
N. was the most promising hope for world peace available, and Truman hailed the Charter as “a solid structure upon which we can build a better world.”1. In its pursuit for peace through negotiation rather than war, the U. N. installed a General Assembly, a world forum for the deliberation of issues affecting all members, and a Security Council consisting of six temporary and five permanent members–Britain, France, the Soviet Union, China, and the United States.
