🎥 Picture this: It's July. Truman, the American president, gears up for a mega conference in Berlin, but he's not in the mood. Imagine being hesitant to attend the party of the year because you're worried about what people will say. It's like being invited to the Oscars and worrying about wearing the right suit.

• Margaret Truman (his daughter) hinted that her dad wasn’t too thrilled about attending foreign state dinners. Think of it as someone not wanting to post their overseas adventures on Instagram.
• Big Question: Should Truman spill the beans on the A-bomb to Stalin? (Especially if the bomb test succeeded)
• On the flip side, historians Stone and Kuznick argue Truman's main goal at Potsdam was to ensure the Soviets would join the war against Japan.

• The conference was delayed for the A-bomb testing.
• Upon hearing the bomb’s success, Truman’s confidence level? Over 9000! 🚀
• Churchill felt the change in Truman’s attitude around Stalin.

• Truman's Bomb News: “Hey, we've got a super destructive weapon!”
• Stalin’s Reaction: Meh. 😐
• The Scoop: Turns out, Soviet spies had given Stalin the 411 on the A-bomb way before Truman even knew about it. Imagine finding out your best friend knew the latest gossip before you did!
