How could it be argued that Winston Churchill started the Cold War?
He made several secret agreements with Stalin in Yalta, dividing Europe between themselves (namely, the continent was to have two spheres of influence; one supervised by USSR, and the other by the UK and France). He is the one who decided which countries should be allowed to become Communist in "free" elections, and which countries should become/remain democratic.It could be argued that Winston Churchill started the Cold War because Churchill's "iron curtain" speech is commonly acknowledged as the start of the Cold War. This could be because he accused Stalin of drawing an "iron curtain" over Eastern Europe - referring to the soviet control of these countries. The metaphor "Iron Curtain" implies that it is hostile, unfriendly and impenetrable. I do not believe that he caused the Cold War but he was merely a catalyst for a series of inevitable events. Also, by doing the speech, it could be argued that he put pressure on America to be even more hostile to the USSR. Although he may not have caused it, he may have started it by showing open hostilities towards the USSR.

Where did the Iron Curtain Speech take place?
Winston Churchill made the iron curtain speech at Westminster college in Fulton, Missouri. There is currently a museum dedicated to him and the circumstances surrounding the speech on campus. For the 50th anniversary of the speech there was a black tie dinner attended by several members of his family as well as Margaret Thatcher. I was fortunate enough to sit with her for about ten minutes as we enjoyed two glasses of wine and she lightheartedly compared her own style and public perception to Winston. There is also a restaurant/pub in Fulton named Sir Winston's in honor of that brief moment in history.
Why does Churchill suspect these cities are under Soviet control?
