5 mars 1946 - Iron Curtain Speech
Description:
Former British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, delivers a speech in Missouri condemning the Soviet Union's expansionist policies. He declares that an "Iron Curtain" has descended across the continent of Europe, and therefore introduces a closer alliance between the US and Great Britain. Churchill's speech later invokes Stalins anger and hostility, announcing the beginning of the Cold war. The Iron Curtain speech mostly relates with the concept of containment because Churchill was suggesting strategies to prevent the further spread of communism.
