mar 5, 1946 - Iron Curtain Speech

Description:

Following the start of the Cold War and the end of World War II, an "Iron Curtain" fell across much of Europe. This metaphorical line across the continent was meant to symbolize the spread of communism throughout the region, and the fact that the USSR was constantly expanding its influence across the world.
