One of the sessions of the Potsdam Conference, including many world leaders, like Stalin and Truman.

Following the end of World War II in May of 1945, Germany was left in a perilous position, and the Allied powers had to step in and try and avoid the problems they created in the peace negotiations following World War I that had been disasterous. This was all sorted at the Potsdam Conference, and while the problem was handled better and a future world war was prevented, it would still have a massive impact on German art and culture.
