What does Curtain mean?

I believe you are referring to the "curtain" wall of a castle, particularly the type known as concentric. In such castles there may be two or more rings of outer walls, each encircling the others - each was fitted with towers and gates and termed a curtain wall and the outer curtain would be the first line of defence.In most cases the outer curtain would be the lowest wall, the inner curtain would be higher and the donjon (later called a keep) would be higher still, always giving the defenders an advantage if the outer defenses were captured by the enemy.In modern architecture an outer curtain is a non-structural free-standing wall designed to keep out the weather.

What was the old nickname for the division between the East and West of Europe?

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.
