	Description:		Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt – all under one roof! Well, maybe not at Potsdam. The heads of state of the UK, US and USSR met three times during the course of the war to discuss war plans and the postwar world order. These conferences not only brought them literally face to face, but also figuratively in the sense that the USSR and the western allies had different ideas on how the world should look in the aftermath of the war. The Cold War really comes into fruition during these conferences as it becomes clear that the Soviets were here to stay in the heart of Europe and there wasn’t much that the western allies could do about it – or were willing to do about it.
