Potsdam 1945

The conclusions of the Potsdam Conference had a fundamental impact on Polish-German relations post 1945. The Conference reached two decisions that were of vital importance for both nations: one concerning Poland’s western border, the other on the displacement of the German population from areas east of the Odra (Oder) and Nysa Łużycka (Western Neisse) rivers. Another essential issue was that of the German reparations for Poland.
