Potsdam Conference a conference held at Potsdam, near Berlin, from July 17 to August 2, 1945, during
World War II. Attending were President
Harry S. Truman, British Prime Minister
Winston Churchill (who was replaced on July 28 by Clement Attlee), and Soviet premier
Josef Stalin. They discussed peace treaties, which were drafted by a Council of Foreign Ministers, to restructure Germany and Eastern Europe and to end the war against Japan. It was the last Allied summit conference.
During the conference, Truman spoke to Stalin about a new weapon to be used against Japan, but failed to identify it as an atomic bomb.
