The+Iron+Curtain+ET

=**The Iron Curtain**= The Iron Curtain was an ideological and physical division that divided different Warsaw Pact countries from the NATO countries in Europe.

This boundary was present from about 1945 until the end of the Cold War in 1991. East of the Iron Curtain was East Germany,Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, and Albania. All of these countries were Communists at the time. The countries on the west of the Iron Curtain all had democratic governments. Similar to the Great Wall Of China, Berlin Wall, and our border dividing the US from Mexico, the Iron Curtain was just a boundary separating different political views at the time.
