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.
