How did the resolutions at Potsdam set the stage for USSR and the U.S. to have tense relations after the war?

The Potsdam Conference in July-August 1945 highlighted deepening ideological rifts between the USSR and the U.S. as they negotiated post-war Europe. Disagreements over the future of Germany, particularly regarding reparations and political structure, exacerbated tensions. The conference's resolutions, which aimed to establish order in Europe, ultimately reflected conflicting visions of governance and influence, leading to mutual distrust and the onset of the Cold War. Additionally, the U.S. commitment to democracy contrasted sharply with the USSR's push for communist expansion, further entrenching their adversarial relationship.
