| Description | Cartoon shows American Secretary of State James F. Byrnes shining a light on a document labeled "America's Policy in German Peace," showing it to John Bull (labeled Britain), a stout man (labeled Germany), Stalin (labeled Russia), and Marianne, a young girl (labeled France). A crumpled document reading "Potsdam Agreement Scrapped" is st￭ into a garbage can. At the Potsdam Conference in September 1945, the United States, Britain, and Russia agreed that Germany in defeat should be temporarily divided into four zones administered by each of the Great Powers, but should be treated as an economic unit. A year later, at a speech in Stuttgart, Byrnes announced that since the Russians and the French had refused to go along with a common economic policy and had violated other provisions of the Potsdam Agreement, the US and British zones would be administered as an economic unit. |
