'The political hostility between the United States of America and the Soviet Union from 1945 to 1990 not only perpetuated enemy propaganda in both countries, but was also a power battle between both nations to sell their respective ideologies to the world. Just like advertising firms use different media outlets and have to create worldwide campaigns, we will take a closer look here at how America more specifically used different media to propagate the “anti-commie” message in its own nation, but also around the world. The following analysis is rich in visual imagery and thus will be very helpful for aspiring graphic designers who throughout this section will learn more about creating a straightforward visual piece, but students in media production and journalism will also find this segment useful for future creative work.'

Potsdam Conference: Big Three: Truman, Stalin & Churchill Meet in Berlin 1945 US OWI Newsreel
more at http://quickfound.net President Harry S. Truman, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Josef Stalin meet at Potsdam (near Berlin). The meeting was originally called the "Berlin Conference," the name was later changed to the "Potsdam Conference." From a "United News" newsreel produced by the US Office of War Information. Public domain film from the US National Archives, slightly cropped to remove uneven edges, with the aspect ratio corrected, and mild video noise reduction applied. The soundtrack was also processed with volume normalization, noise reduction, clipping reduction, and/or equalization (the resulting sound, though not perfect, is far less noisy than the original). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potsdam Conference The Potsdam Conference was held at Cecilienhof, the home of Crown Prince Wilhelm Hohenzollern, in Potsdam, occupied Germany, from 17 July to 2 August 1945. (In some older documents it is also referred to as the Berlin Conference of the Three Heads of Government of the USSR, USA and UK ) Participants were the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States. The three powers were represented by Communist Party General Secretary Joseph Stalin, Prime Ministers Winston Churchill, and, later, Clement Attlee, and President Harry S. Truman. Stalin, Churchill, and Truman—as well as Attlee, who participated alongside Churchill while awaiting the outcome of the 1945 general election, and then replaced Churchill as Prime Minister after the Labour Party's defeat of the Conservatives—gathered to decide how to administer punishment to the defeated Nazi Germany, which had agreed to unconditional surrender nine weeks earlier, on 8 May (V-E Day). The goals of the conference also included the establishment of post-war order, peace treaties issues, and countering the effects of the war... Relationships amongst the leaders In the five months since the Yalta Conference, a number of changes had taken place which would greatly affect the relationships between the leaders. 1. The Soviet Union was occupying Central and Eastern Europe By July, the Red Army effectively controlled the Baltic states, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania, and refugees were fleeing out of these countries fearing a Stalinist take-over. Stalin had set up a communist government in Poland. He insisted that his control of Eastern Europe was a defensive measure against possible future attacks and believed that it was a legitimate sphere of Soviet influence. 2. Britain had a new Prime Minister The results of the British election became known during the conference. As a result of the Labour Party victory over the Conservative Party the leadership changed hands. Consequently, British Prime Minister Clement Attlee assumed leadership following Winston Churchill, whose Soviet policy since the early 1940s had differed considerably from former US President Roosevelt's, with Churchill believing Stalin to be a "devil"-like tyrant leading a vile system. 3. America had a new President, and the war was ending President Roosevelt died on 12 April 1945, and Vice-President Harry Truman assumed the presidency; his succession saw VE Day (Victory in Europe) within a month and VJ Day (Victory in Japan) on the horizon. During the war and in the name of Allied unity, Roosevelt had brushed off warnings of a potential domination by a Stalin dictatorship in part of Europe. He explained that "I just have a hunch that Stalin is not that kind of a man" and reasoned "I think that if I give him everything I possibly can and ask for nothing from him in return, noblesse oblige, he won't try to annex anything and will work with me for a world of democracy and peace...

The Potsdam Conference - When the Cold War began
July 1945 - two month after the end of the war in Europe and the allied victory over the German Reich the three allied leaders have come to Germany to work out a piece treaty - these 16 days, where the fate of post-war Europe was decided, go down in history as the Potsdam Conference (Jul 17, 1945 - Aug 2, 1945) The outcome was intended as a peace treaty for Europe, but it turned out to be the beginning of 45 years of cold war. It was at Cecilienhof in Potsdam, where the big three met: Harry S. Truman, President of the Unites States of America, the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Josef Stalin, the Russian Communist Party General Secretary The main topics to negotiate were how to divide the control over Germany (division into occupation zones), to agree on German reparations, to agree on the German borders, but also on borders of Poland, the dimantling of German war industry and the punishment of war criminals (trials, held some month later in Nuremberg). Truman's intent was also to end the war in Japan as soon as possible. He mentioned a "powerful new weapon". In the last days of the conference, the US, Britain and China gave Japan an ultimatum to surrender or otherwise threatened with "prompt and utter destruction" without mentioning a new bomb. Some days after the Potsdam Conference, Trum gave the order to drop off the first atomic bomb on Japan (Aug 6, 1945) The documentation also shows pictures from the Berlin directly after the war, the destroyed city, the Führerbunker (Hitler's bunker), women clearing away the rubble, etc. Cecilienhof in Potsdam is nowaday a memorial commemorating the Conference and negotiations for peace.
