Another election is quite recent and it happened in 2000. In the elections between Al Gore, the Democratic candidate, and George Bush, the Republican candidate, the popular vote went to Al Gore, but the winner of the elections was George Bush because of the electoral votes. The elections were narrow and Florida votes were deciding on who the president would be. There was a lot of controversy and recounting and also the fact that Florida governor was Jeb Bush, George's brother, so many naturally accused them of rigging it. It went to the Supreme court and the votes were after a close struggle awarded to George Bush who became the president.

Following world war ll a metaphoric “iron curtain” was drawn across Europe what was meant by this
hram777 [196]

An ideological division between western and eastern Europe.

The Iron Curtain separated Eastern Europe (which is under the USSR control), which contained Eastern Germany, Poland, etc, in which these places were placed under a Communist government.

On the other hand, Western Berlin (As Berlin was also split), and the three western nations parts (later placed together to become Western Germany), was given a democratic-like government instead, and, with western aid, was able to grow economically and was able to be repaired quickly.

Because condition inside the West was better, Eastern Germans quickly moved west-ward in search for better conditions, leading to the USSR building the Iron Curtain to keep East Germans from escaping, which led to the symbol of the division between the Communist nations and the Democratic.
