The Iron Curtain. The term was first coined by British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, to describe the borders between the communist countries of eastern Europe and the capitalist countries of Western Europe. He described it as running for "Szechin in the North to Trieste in the South" and he clearly didn't approve.
On a smaller scale, the city of Berlin was separated in the same way. A wall was erected by East German forces to keep their own citizens out of the democratic West of the city. The Berlin Wall existed between the early 1960s and the late 1980s.
