Potsdam Conference: How to Handle Poland, Japan?

The Potsdam Conference (17 July – 2 August 1945) was the last meeting of the ‘Big Three' Allied leaders during the Second World War. At Yalta in February 1945, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, American President Franklin D Roosevelt and Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin had agreed to meet again following the defeat of Germany, principally to determine the borders of post-war Europe and deal with other outstanding problems.
