Who first used the term "Iron Curtain" in connection with the USSR?

a man ahead of his time, but came at the right time

churchill was an amazing man

I went to Westminster college, it was renamed to Westminster in honor of Churchill. Great school

Player #1935809, Vienna has never been located behind the iron curtain!!

accidentally pressed the thumbs down button accidentally past few times... all questions interesting.. and educational

He first quoted it in a speech that he gave in 1946, the year after the Second World War had ended in 1945...Thus was the birth of the Cold War years...

Player sodalou, Winston Churchill is to India as Hitler was to the world. he was responsible for the deaths of 3 to 5 million Indians by causing an artificial famine(he ordered stockpiling of food) that was taken away from India to England as he deemed white British lives were of more value than people of color.

As soon as I read the first part of the question I was like "Easy, red alert!"

The map of Azerbaijan is indicated incorrectly. Karabakh is Azerbaijan.

Spliff, But Vienna was possibly highly influenced by Russia in the immediate post war era . It was supposedly full of Soviet spies

Player sodalou, maybe read the history of ww2 and then comment

Great question, well researched!
