In which year did the Potsdam Conference take place?

• A. 1943
• B. 1945
• C. 1942
• D. 1946

Answer: (B)

The Potsdam Conference happened in 1945, as the Allies moved from victory in World War II to shaping the postwar order. It took place from July 17 to August 2, 1945, near Berlin, with leaders Truman, Attlee, and Stalin. This timing fits because Germany had just surrendered in May 1945, and the conference followed the earlier wartime talks at Yalta that year. Earlier years like 1942 and 1943 hosted other conferences, while 1946 comes after the war had ended and postwar arrangements were already underway. So the year is 1945.
