What was the significance of the Iron Curtain in World War 2?

The concept of the Iron Curtain, presented by Winston Churchill, had significance on the end of WWII and beginning of the Cold War. It presented the idea that capitalism was the correct ideology to follow and that communism was the "iron curtain" dividing the world into the capitalist Western powers and the Soviet Union and the other communist nations (e.g. China). Ultimately, it means that the two ideologies cannot coexist; the "curtain" is not flexible (since it is made of metal) thus the only way to unite the world is to destroy the curtain completely.


Why was the iron curtain named like that?

The basis behind the "Iron Curtain" can actually be pinned on a speech by Winston Churchill. Considered a jarring and startling speech at the time, the Iron Curtain was a two-fold metaphor. The Soviet Union, a Communist state, had outright occupied an enormous section of the whole of Europe; virtually everything east of Berlin, down to around Turkey and Greece, and the borders of Mongolia and China, were occupied by a regime whose iron handed dictatorship had as much notoriety as the man the Allies just fought to depose: Adolf Hitler. The "Iron Curtain" was named for Stalin's iron handed strategy [Stalin's namesake comes from the Georgian word for steel, or rather the prepositional phrase 'of-steel']. It also was named so for its foreboding aspect, as the Soviet Union's swath across the whole of Europe was with armored columns. The Soviet Union had immense industrial power, and the Soviet's pride in its civilian "army" of industrial workers, made the Iron Curtain analogy appropriate. The "Iron Curtain" in whole, was an analogy by Winston Churchill, which stuck with the West and the civic populace, as it identified their opponent in terms they comprehended well: stark, overbearing, and tyrannical people who sought to depose 'their' freedom: an iron curtain. It made a great label and thus the name was kept.


What does Churchill believe the iron curtain is made up of?

Winston Churchill famously described the "iron curtain" as a metaphorical barrier that separated Eastern and Western Europe after World War II. He believed it was constructed from the oppressive regimes and totalitarian governments of the Soviet Union and its satellite states, which suppressed freedom and democracy. The iron curtain symbolized the ideological divide between the democratic West and the communist East, highlighting the tensions of the Cold War.

Who established the iron curtain?

Winston Churchill in one of his speeches said "From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an "iron curtain" has descended across the Continent." As with any saying nobody really created it but Winston Churchill made it famous. The first time this saying was ever used was in 1819 and it was used in the sense of an impenetrable barrier. I hope this answers your question.
