An event mentioned in this article is a August 2 selected anniversary
As we have come to expect when people post texts here, the 'Partial text' of the Potsdam conference is poorly handled. Question 1 - Why should anyone ever believe that an editable text is accurate? Anyone can, after all, 'edit this page right now' and insert whatever vandalism or personal weirdness they like. Question 2 - Even if the text were accurate and stable, why is the text of the agreement here rather than an article on the conference, its effects, etc. The text is not helpful in the absence of a serious article. Texts like this should remain external links and people can go read them if they like. Wikipedia should be a collection of original entries about texts, not a collection of texts. Based on these objections I have cut the 'Partial Text' and left the entry which preceded it. --MichaelTinkler
This text was put on this site some months ago, to read. No one took it off. It was from the british-forces.com , but the site is closed by now. I do not believe that the complete text should stay. H.J.
The decision to drop the atomic bomb was not made at the conference and was not mentioned to Stalin at any time during the conference. Stalin would not agree to its use as he did not want US influence in Far East
