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

History
1 answer:
barxatty [35]3 years ago
3 0
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.

Germany was surprised by the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, including the massive
mixer [17]
Mostly it was because of the massive price of the war reparations that the German country was forced to pay after the war. They had to pay for reparation in all places that were ruined in war and they thought that this was extremely unfair to them, especially since they weren't even invited when the treaty was being made.
