Explanation

At Potsdam, the Allied leaders agreed to changes affecting European borders, including placing much of Germany’s former eastern territory under Polish administration. They also set terms for Germany to pay reparations and for Nazi leaders to face trials for war crimes. Germany was divided into occupation zones, but the conference did not agree to divide it permanently into two nations; nor did it formally agree that Eastern European countries would become communist.
