the British wartime prime minister Winston Churchill
The Iron Curtain, a term invented by the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
Iron Curtain
This was taken from a speech that he made on March 5th 1946 in Fulton Missouri and referring to the fact that the Soviet Union had occupied most of Eastern Europe and the citizens of the occupied countries were not allowed to travel to the west and vice versa. What he actually said was, 'From Strettin on the Baltic to Trieste on the Adriatic, an Iron Curtain has come down across the Continent'. Incidentally, he wasn't Prime Minister at the time as he had unbelievably lost the election in 1945 - but that's democracy.
