</u>
<u>
</u>
Further Explanation:
The “Iron Curtain” formed the imaginary line or boundary which divides Europe into two different areas from the end of World War II (1945) until the end of the Cold War (1991). It symbolized efforts by the “Soviet Union” to block itself and the satellite states from the “open contact” with the West and non Soviet controlled areas.
The states developed their own “international military alliances”, namely the NATO and Warsaw Pact:
1. Member countries of the “Council for Mutual Economic Assistance” and the “Warsaw Pact” with the “Soviet Union” as the leading state.
2. Member countries of the “North Atlantic Treaty Organization” (NATO) with the United States as the “preeminent power”.
The Iron Curtain took the border defenses between the “middle of the continent” and the “countries of Europe”.
