What was the Significance of the Iron Curtain?
The strict separation of the European countries under Soviet control and the West European countries most of all caused a great difference in post-WW 2 development. Western Europe - including even Germany - got a lot of financial support from its 'leader' country USA under the Marshall Plan to get back on its feet again economically and from the mid Fifties on, started to prosper again.Russia on the other hand was dealing with East European countries that more often than not had supported Hitler - often with their troops - to invade and fight the USSR. Stalin therefore had good reasons not to feel too kindly disposed to them. Moreover, while the US economy had experienced a mighty upsurge in its economic growth as a result of the war - and so had the money to help Europe, the Soviet economy had suffered heavily by the invasion and Stalin saw taking anything he needed out of the countries under his control as a form of justified repair payments. All of this meant that Eastern Europe's economies were and remained backward until the fall of the Iron Curtain around 1990.
