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.
