The Cold War.
The Truman Doctrine--a policy of supporting anti-communist regimes with military and economic aid. The Doctrine was first used in support of democratic governments in Greece and Turkey. In 1947 the Soviets stepped up their support of Communist guerrillas in Greece and Communist political parties in Italy and France. Truman asked Congress to appropriate $400 million in military assistance to the pro-Western governments of Greece and Turkey.
Simply stated,because both countries had a common enemy. The U.S. and the U.S.S.R. were not true "allies", it was a tense relationship. The Soviet Union was communist since 1917 and was not a true friend of America. It was a relationship of necessity to defeat The Axis Powers.

The Iron Curtain was put there because of the cold war. To prevent movement between communist countries and democratic countries.
Similar to other social democratic European countries: very good.
Of course. If you don't think so make a visit to communist China, Russia, or other countries that are not democratic.
The Iron Curtain divided Europe into two halves, east and west. The western democratic countries were on the side of the United States. The eastern communist countries were on the side of the Soviet Union. The Iron Curtain fell when communism collapsed and the eastern European countries became democratic.
