Joseph Stalin imposed what Winston Churchill would call the Iron Curtain after World War II. The figurative curtain separated Soviet-controlled Warsaw Pact countries from NATO led and neutral countries.
The only actions of consequence would be the 2 Atomic Bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. The USA are also the only country ever to use a Nuclear device against an Enemy country.
dont you think it would be Berlin Wall!!
i would have guessed it would have been America as russia was already near the eastern part of Europe so they would have been trying to protect that side.
Through 1944 that would be Germany, after that Russia controlled and held eastern Europe for decades.
An Iron Curtain.
A curtain with a black out exterior curtain will keep all of the light out, and even some sound.
That would be a solid bronze curtain rod.
I would use a white mildew resistant shower curtain liner behing the Ruffles shower curtain.
Country-themed curtain rods should be made with simple materials and designs. Wood and iron are always good choices. Avoid elaborate decorations like complicated finials and stay away from contemporary finishes like stainless steel.
Areawise Canada is the world's second largest country behind Russia. Populationwise, the second largest country would be India, coming behind the People's Republic of China.
A curved curtain rod with a flexible curtain would be best suited for an arch doorway to allow for easy opening and closing without obstructing the arch shape.
Curtain rod brackets are available anywhere that they sell curtain rods. The cheapest place to find these would probably be Walmart. They would also be available at places like Home Depot and Lowe's.
The Soviet Bloc was afraid of NATO. Having been invaded by Germany during WW II and having suffered greatly from this invasion, Russia was worried that they would be invaded again. As it turned out, the fear was unnecessary.
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.
