(Iron Curtain)By 1946, less than a year after the end of World War II, it became clear that the Soviet Union planned to control the Poles, Hungarians, Romanians, and other people of Eastern Europe. Stalin forced communist government on these people. He also used his secret police to arrest anyone who opposed his rule.Many Eastern Europeans tried to escape Soviet control by fleeing to the West. But the Soviets stopped them by building a barbed wire fence which cut off Eastern Europe from the West. They also blocked trade between the eastern and western parts of Europe. Winston Churchill called the Soviet-controlled border between the East and West the "Iron Curtain."

Why did the Soviet Union view the formation of a west greman state and NATO as a threat?
My question: Did they really see West Germany & NATO as a threat? or Is that what they wanted us to believe, as justification for their dangerous actions? The Soviet Union, in their words, viewed all non-communist nations as threats, regardless of their foreign policy. In actuality, the Soviet Union was a very real threat to the United States, Japan, and Western Europe after Germany's defeat. The Soviet Union had just seized all of eastern Europe by mid-1945 and imposed communist dictatorships on these nations, and it was believed they had further territorial ambitions. In response, the US, Great Britain & France re-created a free Germany by uniting all three of it's western occupation zones. They also created a new Alliance, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) that called for the common defense in western Europe, that included for the first time the United States & Canada. The alliance was not for the purpose of taking offensive action against the Soviet Union, as the Soviet Union alleged.
In 1961 the Soviet Union attempted?
