At the Potsdam Conference in July-August 1945, the main disagreements revolved around the post-war order in Europe, particularly regarding the governance and reparations of Germany. The leaders, including Truman, Churchill, and Stalin, clashed over the extent of reparations to be paid by Germany and the future political structure of Eastern Europe. Additionally, there were tensions over Soviet influence in Eastern Europe, with the West advocating for democratic elections, while the Soviet Union sought to establish pro-communist governments. These disagreements foreshadowed the divisions that would lead to the Cold War.
