The term "Iron Curtain" was popularized by Winston Churchill in a speech in 1946 to describe the division between Western democracies and Eastern communist countries in Europe after World War II. It symbolized the ideological and physical barrier that separated the Soviet-controlled Eastern Bloc from the West. The "curtain" metaphor emphasized the lack of transparency and communication between these two regions, highlighting the tensions of the Cold War era.
