The Industrial Revolution began in England in the late 18th century, and spread during the 19th century to Belgium, Germany, Northern France, the United States, and Japan. Almost all areas of the world felt the effects of the Industrial Revolution because it divided the world into "have" and "have not" countries, with many of the latter being controlled by the former. England's lead in the Industrial Revolution translated into economic prowess and political power that allowed colonization of other lands, eventually building a worldwide British Empire.
The French and Indian war tool a lot of lives indeed than the American Revolution. It also involved a lot of countries, but the one that lost the most was France as they were able to lose their foothold in 1760.
Hey there! I'm happy to help!
Let's review the four answer options we have about the term used by Churchill in reference to the Soviet Union's rule over the Eastern European nations.
A. The Marshall Plan
B. The Iron Curtain
C. The Warsaw Pact
D. Nato
Answer A is incorrect. The Marshall Plan was a plan from the U.S. to help Europe recover from WWII.
Answer B is correct. The Iron Curtain was an unofficial boundary between the Communist Eastern and Non-Communist Western European countries. It was not an official term so it makes sense that it would be something touted by Churchill.
Answer C is incorrect because the Warsaw Pact was an alliance between Eastern European countries, and the name of the pact wouldn't be a specific term Churchill uses because everyone would due to it being official.
Answer D is wrong because NATO is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which is an alliance between North American and European countries.
Therefore, the answer is B. Iron Curtain.
Have a wonderful day! :D
