Answer 1

The boundary that divided Europe into two by the end of the World War II was known as the Iron Curtain. They were divided as under:

(i) Soviet Administered Areas.

(ii) Non-Soviet Administered Areas. 

In Winston Churchill's 1946, the Iron Curtain was a devastating event that effected the peace in the region. The seriousness of the event was delivered by Churchill's speech. 

He said that now the Iron Curtain was fading away as the political scenario of the Soviets changed. 

Answer 2

Answer:

Iron curtain.

Explanation:

•The antagonism between the Soviet Union and the West that came to be described as the “iron curtain” had various origins, including events going back to the Russian Revolution of 1917, disagreements during and immediately after world war II, and various annexations of Eastern European nations by the Soviet Union.

•The Iron Curtain specifically refers to the imaginary line dividing Europe between Soviet influence and Western influence, and symbolizes efforts by the Soviet Union to block itself and its satellite states from open contact with the West and non-Soviet-controlled areas.

•On either side of the Iron Curtain, states developed their own international military alliances, namely the Warsaw Pact and NATO.

•Physically, the Iron Curtain took the form of border defenses between the countries of Europe in the middle of the continent, most notably the Berlin Wall.
