Winston Churchill famously described the "iron curtain" as a metaphorical barrier that separated Eastern and Western Europe after World War II. He believed it was constructed from the oppressive regimes and totalitarian governments of the Soviet Union and its satellite states, which suppressed freedom and democracy. The iron curtain symbolized the ideological divide between the democratic West and the communist East, highlighting the tensions of the Cold War.
Ring Up the Curtain was created on 1919-04-27.
He did not, Stalin did. Churchill just named it. Surprisingly, it wasn't Churchill who came up with the name - it was the Nazi minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels. An evil man, Goebbels, but not all evil men are stupid. A saying of his is still the motto of all propagandists - "it doesn't matter what is true, only what is believed."
Nobody, the bombs were dropped on Japan in 1945 ending WW2. The "Cold War" didn't start until about 1947. Look up Winston Churchill's "Iron Curtain" speech.

an iron curtainIn a speech at Westminster College, Fulton Missouri on March 5th 1946, he said that "from Stettin on the Baltic to Trieste on the Adriatic, an Iron Curtain has descended over Europe".It sounds like you are referring to the term "iron curtain" which had been used previously but which was picked up by Churchill as a theme in describing the spread of Communism in Europe.Churchill used the term "iron curtain" in a 12 May 1945 telegram he sent to U.S. President Harry S. Truman regarding his concern about Soviet actions, stating[a]n iron curtain is drawn down upon their front. We do not know what is going on behind.Churchill repeated the words in another telegram to President Truman on 4 June 1945, in which he protested against such a U.S. retreat to what was earlier designated as, and ultimately became, the U.S. occupation zone, saying the military withdrawal would bringSoviet power into the heart of Western Europe and the descent of an iron curtain between us and everything to the eastward.
THe countries "behind the iron curtain" were: GDR (German Democratic Republic), Poland,Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania. Of course it was not a curtain, but Churchill referred to the dividedness of Europe with this word: the capitalist and the communist part of it.

Josef Goebbels was the first person to speak of the Iron Curtain. He explained this in his article named The Year 2000 in 1945 saying: "If the German people surrender, the Soviets will occupy . . . the whole east and southeast of Europe in addition to the larger part of the Reich. In front of this enormous territory, including the Soviet Union, an iron curtain will go down . . . The rest of Europe will fall in political chaos which will be but a period of preparation for the coming of Bolshevism.
