(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."
