= Truman and Stalin at Postdam =

At the conference, Truman took a firm stand against heavy reparations. Truman suggested that the Soviets take reparation from their zones, but Stalin opposed this idea since the Soviet zone was mostly agricultural. Truman offered Stalin a small amount of Germans industrial equipment from the other zones, Stalin refused Trumans offer. While at Postdam Truman found out that the atomic bomb had been successfully tested and hinted to Stalin that the U.S had new powerful weapons. It planted the seeds to the Cold War.
