Post WWII Europe

Potsdam Conference-Summer 1945 Temporarily divide Germany into 4 zones Divide Berlin Rid Germany of any remnants of Nazi party Reparations Soviets would receive largest share Soviets wanted a buffer zone of friendly governments in Eastern Europe

Iron Curtain From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe. Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia, all these famous cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere, and all are subject in one form or another, not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and, in some cases, increasing measure of control from Moscow. Athens alone - Greece with its immortal glories - is free to decide its future at an election under British, American and French observation. - Winston Churchill (3/1946) QpAEAQ
