Potsdam Agreement

Peace Treaties and Territorial Settlements

The Potsdam Agreement was reached among three of the Allies of World War II, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union, after the end of the war in Europe, and was signed on 1 August 1945. A product of the Potsdam Conference, it addressed the military occupation and reconstruction of Germany, its borders, and the wider European theatre, along with German demilitarization, reparations, the prosecution of war criminals, and the mass expulsion of ethnic Germans from parts of Europe. France was not invited to the conference but formally remained one of the occupying powers of Germany.
