explanation: Located on the south-western suburb of Berlin, Potsdam was founded around 10th century by a Slavic folk but had remained modest until 1660 when Duke of Prussia, Frederick William I settled his hunting house there, then it became a residence of Prussian royal family. The Sanssouci Palace built in 1747 by Frederick the Great was enlisted in the human heritage of UNESCO in 1990 as a Rococo master piece. On August 2, 1945, the Allied Powers met at Potsdam to send an ultimatum to Japan (Declaration of Potsdam).
