..the effects of the so called Potzdam conference are with us today, have played a role of the direction all our lifes have taken since 1945 and have essentially changed the world forever.
It was decided to split the world in two. The communist controlled by Stalins USSR and the Capitalist...American controlled.Truman....who must in my view be considered one of the worst mass murderer of all times managed to control Stalin to a degree by the senseless use of the atom bomb over Japan.
Britain at that point had lost their status as the world power, but Churchill somehow managed to do his own revenge thing in Dresden.
China emerged as a future World power...remember this was 1945 and along with Russia,Britain and the USA China obtained a seat at the UN permanent security council one of the only 4 seats with vito power.
How can we forget chinese participation in the Korea and Vietnam conflicts?

I'm told to quit sniping at the USA...did'nt think that's what I was doing.
But if we do not learn from the past...and if there is no clear and intelligently laid out path for the future, we, mankind are all in trouble...the USA today has about 2500 Generals, active and retired on the payroll...that's almost as many as the number of nuclear weapons in storage,ready to go...contantly in the ait or on submarines...and yet, look what a handful of fanatics managed to do re 9/11....
