98-547_PotsdamerKonferenz-engl The Potsdam Conference marked-and still today marks-the end of
the Second World War and the beginning of the Cold War. The discussions and negotiations held
at Cecilienhof Palace from 17 July to 2 August 1945 staked out zones and spheres of influence
and had a political impact on the post-war period that reached far beyond Europe. The volume
shows how the Big Three-Churchill Truman and Stalin-reached their resolutions. And it
highlights what effects these resolutions had not only on the defeated Germans but also on the
Chinese Japanese and Koreans who were still at war on the displaced persons and Holocaust
survivors who had no voice in Potsdam on the Persians whose fate was decided without
consulting their interests or wishes and on the French who were among the victorious powers
but had not been invited to the conference. The Potsdam Agreement subsequently signed by the
three heads of state thus laid the foundations for the reorganisation of the world.
