Answer: They did not agree on reparations.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the war ended, Germany was required to pay war damages. Major world powers attended the conferences, and the winning countries led the keynote. The dispute arose over war damages that Germany was supposed to pay to the injured parties. The United States and the Soviet Union took the lead, and a dispute arose over the amount of the payment. They also disagreed on Soviet politics in Eastern Europe. Truman was unhappy with Russian intentions. Stalin wanted to slander Germany. Truman refused to repeat Versailles' mistakes.
