Two important historical events that took place on July 17.
On this date in 1918 the Bolsheviks executed Tsar Nicholas II of Russia and his immediate family at their home in Yekaterinburg.
And another July 17, this time in 1945 Stalin, Truman and Churchill met in Cecilienhof in Potsdam to decide the future of a defeated Germany. At the time Potsdam was in the Soviet zone of divided Germany.
