An IRON CURTAIN has descended - VIDEO RECORDING from The Sinews of Peace speech by Winston Churchill

VIDEO RECORDING of "The Sinews of Peace", also known as the "Iron Curtain speech" - a famous historic speech made by Winston Churchill on March 5, 1946 to the Westminster College, Fulton, Missouri. Russian historians date the beginning of the Cold War from this speech.

Churchill reflected on the situation in Eastern Europe with these famous words: From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an iron curtain has descended across the Continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe. Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia; all these famous cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere, and all are subject, in one form or another, not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and in some cases increasing measure of control from Moscow.
