About
The Potsdam Agreement was signed in August 1945 by three World War II Allies: the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union. It was a Potsdam Conference product that dealt with the military occupation and reconstruction of Germany, its borders, and the entire European Theatre of War territory. It also addressed Germany's demilitarization, reparations, war crimes prosecution, and the mass exodus of ethnic Germans from various parts of Europe. Executed as a communiqué, the agreement was not a peace treaty according to international law, although it created accomplished facts. It was superseded by the Treaty on the Final Settlement to Germany signed on 12 September 1990. As De Gaulle had not been invited to the Conference, the French resisted implementing the Potsdam Agreements within their occupation zone. In particular, the French refused to resettle any expelled Germans from the east.
