Winston Churchill on March 5th 1946.
This is from the famous 'Iron Curtain' speech made by Winston Churchill at Fulton Missouri in 1946. He was talking about the increasing Soviet influence in eastern Europe. He also said in his speech, "from Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste on the Adriatic, an Iron Curtain has descended over Europe".
The 'iron curtain' was taken from a speech by Winston Churchill at Fulton Missouri in 1946. He was talking about the spread of communism in Eastern Europe and said that 'from Stettin on the Baltic to Trieste on the Adriatic, an Iron Curtain has descended over Europe'. He meant that Europe was now split into two zones - East and West. This didn't change until the fall of communism in 1991.
'Iron Curtain' was a figure of speech used by Winston Churchill to describe the effect of Russian expansion and domination of Eastern Europe immediately after WWII. Stalin worked on posession being nine-tenths of the law, and the other Allies were in no mood to engage in another military confrontation. Consequently, many nations seeking liberation from tyrannical German occupation got tyrannical Russian Communist occupation instead. Churchill announced that 'an Iron Curtain has descended across Europe.', and the phrase stuck.
It refers to the separation between communist Eastern Europe and free Western Europe, coined by Winston Churchill in a speech at Westminster College on March 5, 1946.

Winston Churchill made the iron curtain speech at Westminster college in Fulton, Missouri. There is currently a museum dedicated to him and the circumstances surrounding the speech on campus. For the 50th anniversary of the speech there was a black tie dinner attended by several members of his family as well as Margaret Thatcher. I was fortunate enough to sit with her for about ten minutes as we enjoyed two glasses of wine and she lightheartedly compared her own style and public perception to Winston. There is also a restaurant/pub in Fulton named Sir Winston's in honor of that brief moment in history.
