Answer 3

i think the Big Three formalized the plan to divide Germany into four zones of occupation is correct because the Potsdam conference decided that Germany would be divided into 4 zones of occupation. Later, the four zones would become two, east and west Germany. This divide became the physical manifestation of the impending Cold War.
