How did the phrase "Iron Curtain" reinforce Churchill's overall message in the speech?

History

barxatty [35]3 years ago

Churchill's overall message in his 1946 speech "The Sinews of Peace" is that even though America, Britain and other powerful states have won the Second World War, the world at large still hasn't managed to establish a long-lasting and stable peace. The greatest threats are war and terror.

The phrase "Iron Curtain" invigorates this thesis. It divides Europe into two halves, the democratic West and the Russia-influenced, communist and totalitarian East. This term is extremely rich in associations; the curtain means division which breaks up the post-war prosperity and unity that all the states should strive for. The fact that it is "iron" associates war and destruction, which is why many historians think that this speech marked the beginning of the Cold War.

Explain how the Age of Exploration contributed to secularism in Europe.
poizon [28]

Age of exploration brought about discoveries and advances. It is also called the age of discovery and it began in the fifteenth century and lasted till seventeenth century.

Explanation:

During the early fifteenth century, the Europeans began to explore the world by discovering new sea routes for the purpose of trade relations. Explorers discovered the areas such as Africa and America and brought back that knowledge to Europe. Massive wealth were accrued due to the trading of spices and metals to the Asian continent.

New foods, plants and animals were exchanged between the colonies and Europe. Indigenous people were decimated by Europeans. The age of exploration stood as a major stepping stone of geographic knowledge. These explorations also introduced a whole new world of flora and fauna to Europeans. Age of discovery bound the Europeans together for their massive knowledge of geography which they have gathered out of exploration.
