Which country was NOT a participant in the Potsdam Declaration setting the terms for how WWII peace settlements would be administered?

A. United States
B. Britain
C. China
D. France

The correct answer is: D. France

The Potsdam Declaration was issued by the United States, Britain, and China during the closing phases of World War II. This declaration outlined the terms for Japan's surrender and the post-war order in Asia and Europe. France, while a key player in the Allied powers, was not a signatory to the Potsdam Declaration, as it was not involved in the negotiations at the Potsdam Conference in July-August 1945. The conference primarily involved the leaders of the three aforementioned countries: President Harry S. Truman from the United States, Prime Minister Winston Churchill (and later Clement Attlee) from Britain, and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek from China. Thus, France was not a participant in setting the terms outlined in the Potsdam Declaration, making it the correct choice.
