At Potsdam, the Allies formalized the division of Germany into four occupation zones, with the Soviet Union controlling the eastern part, and approved shifting Poland's western border into former German territory. Thus, Stalin was given temporary control of Poland and a portion of Germany under the terms outlined at the Yalta and Potsdam Conferences. The other options mention non-existent conferences and are incorrect.
