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

History

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.

List at least three changes took place in the renaissance.
svetlana [45]
During the renaissance, art, religion, science, technology and philosophy all changed.

In art, perspective and porportion made art more realistic looking. The subject matter of art also changed. No longer was all the art religious. For example, artists started to sketch nature and Leonardo da Vinci painted his famous Mona Lisa.

Before the renaissance, there was only one religion in Europe: Roman Catholic Christian. The renaissance/reformation changed that. Groups such as the Protestant, Lutherean, Anglican, and Calvinist religions started to pop up. They had different beliefs, practices, and ideologys, even though they are all branches of Christianity today.

Scientists like Galileo changed popular held beliefs about science. A scientific method for testing theories was formulated. The invention of the printing press ensured that information could be spread quicker and cheaper.

Finally, the renaissance is marked by a change in thinking. Previously, most people were fatalists, which meant that they believed their destinies were pre-chosen and nothing they did would change them. New thinkers called humanists believed that humans had freedom of choice and weren't as concerned with spiritual matters.

Which group of people did the prophet Muhammad and his early followers fight against before he died of natural causes in 632 C.E
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

B. Tribal Idol worshippers

Explanation:

The holy prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) and his early followers fight against tribal people who worship Idols before he died because all the tribes were against the Holy prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) and his new religion Islam. These tribes feared the increasing power of the new religion practiced by large number of Arab people so for stopping this spreading they fought many wars with the holy prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) and his early followers.
