What was the result of the Potsdam Conference?

The Potsdam Conference had a few different results.

One result of the conference was that the Allies agreed on what would happen to Germany.  They agreed to divide Germany up into four parts, with each of the US, the UK, France, and the USSR.  They agreed that Germany would be demilitarized.  They agreed that German society and government would have to be remade to make get rid of all the Nazi influences.

Another result of the conference was that the boundaries of Germany were changed.  Territory was taken from eastern Germany and given to Poland to make up for Polish territory that the USSR had taken.  This resulted in many ethnic Germans being removed from Poland and forced to go to Germany.

Perhaps the most important result of the Potsdam Conference was the Potsdam Declaration.  In this declaration, the Allies declared that Japan would have to surrender unconditionally.  This helped cause the situation in which Japan fought hard until the US dropped atomic bombs on them.
