During the conference, the three leaders agreed to demand Germany’s unconditional surrender and began plans for a post-war world. Stalin also agreed to permit free elections in Eastern Europe and to enter the Asian war against Japan, for which he was promised the return of lands lost to Japan in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05.

At the Potsdam Conference of July-August 1945, the Allied Powers confirmed their decision to divide Germany and the city of Berlin into zones of occupation until such time as the Allies would permit Germany to establish a central government. Disagreements between the Soviet Union and the Western Allies soon arose over their respective occupation policies and the matter of reparations. In June 1948, the Soviet Union cut off the West's land access to the American, British, and French sectors of Berlin in retaliation for steps taken by the United States and Britain to unite Germany. ]]> 2016-06-12 19:47:36 UTC https://padlet.com/339798/lybiugfv1mf4/wish/114423635 4) Space Race  339798 https://padlet.com/339798/lybiugfv1mf4/wish/114423998 The space Race was a competition between the Soviet Union (USSR)and the United States for ultimate power/ supremacy in space exploration.
