Study Notes

London Conference (November 1947)

The Big Four (US, UK, USSR, France) met to discuss a solution for post-war Germany.
The US favored Western European integration, while the USSR sought to prevent a German division. The Soviet Union's industrialized area was in the western part of Germany.
The Soviet Union tried to sway public opinion through Walter Ulbricht, leader of the Socialist Unity Party (SED).
Ulbricht organized a "German People's Congress for Unity and Just Peace," but only about a third of those in Western Germany were communists, thus not truly representing the people or their opinions.
Britain denied entry to the Congress attendees.
The conference ended with the USSR accusing the UK and US of violating the Potsdam Agreement and unfairly preventing their access to reparations.
Western powers rejected the USSR's proposal for a unified German government controlled by them.
The West started planning for the creation of a West German state.
