What happened as a result to the Potsdam conference in 1945?

The Potsdam Conference in 1945 led to significant geopolitical changes in post-World War II Europe. The Allied leaders—Harry S. Truman, Winston Churchill (later Clement Attlee), and Joseph Stalin—agreed on the administration of Germany, which included demilitarization, denazification, and reparations. Additionally, the conference marked the beginning of tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union, setting the stage for the Cold War, as differing ideologies and territorial ambitions emerged during discussions on Eastern Europe and the future of Germany.
