The UK, USSR and USA would:

  • Split Germany up into 4 zones controlled equally
  • Germany to pay reparations
  • Russia would assist the USA in defeating Japan once Germany was defeated
  • Declaration of Liberated Europe would allow for free elections across east Europe

Explanation:

This treaty was very controversial between all the countries involved and writing about it here would be too baffling, to break down the core of the Potsdam pact, BBC Bitesize has a good little segment on it which can be found here:
