The Iron Curtain was the physical boundary dividing Europe into two separate areas from the end of World War II in 1945 until the end of the Cold War in 1991. The term symbolized efforts by the Soviet Union to block itself and its satellite states from open contact with the west and non-Soviet-controlled areas. On the east side of the Iron Curtain were the countries that were connected to or influenced by the Soviet Union. On either side of the Iron Curtain, states developed their own international economic and military alliances:
Physically, the Iron Curtain took the form of border defenses between the countries of Europe in the middle of the continent. The most notable border was marked by the Berlin Wall and its Checkpoint Charlie which served as a symbol of the Curtain as a whole.
The agreements made late during World War 2 were soon to become obsolete when the USSR and the Allies couldn't agree on the economic future of Germany. After the US further alienated Joseph Stalin with the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan, the decision was made to divide Germany. The Iron Curtain fell over Europe. East and West Germany would remain symbols of the balance of terror and completely opposite ideologies of the bipolar world during the Cold War for the next 40 years. » ALL VIDEOS on the Cold War: http://bit.ly/ColdWarPlaylist » Zero Hour - The Cold War Begins: http://bit.ly/ZeroHourTCW » JOIN OUR COMMUNITY FOR MORE HISTORY KNOWLEDGE!

After WWII, there was great division among the Soviet Union and the other Allied Powers. This disagreement would separate Europe and threaten world peace for decades.

Edited DARPA video showing 2008 tests of the Artis-developed Iron Curtain anti-RPG active protection system for light tactical vehicles - here an HMMWV. DARPA in November 2009 awarded Mustang Technologies a contract to integrate Iron Curtain with its Crosshairs counter-shooter system for tests on an MRAP. Cued by the corner-mounted Crosshairs' radar, an optical sensor classifies the incoming threat and selects the aimpoint. When the RPG is just inches from the vehicle, the roof-mounted countermeasure fires straight down, deflagrating the warhead before it can detonate.

Next, the book examines the exchange of publications and the availability of one side's work in the libraries of the other. It then goes on to compare general language abilities on ...
Listen to the full audiobook: http://appgame.space/mabk/30/en/B00GZNDD14/book The Cold War began in Europe in the mid-1940s and ended there in 1989. Notions of a global Cold War are useful in describing the wide impact and scope of the East-west divide after World War Ii, but first and foremost the Cold War was about the standoff in Europe. The Soviet Union established a sphere of influence in Eastern Europe in the mid-1940s that later became institutionalized in the Warsaw Pact, an organization that was offset by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (nato) led by the United States. The fundamental division of Europe persisted for forty years, coming to an end only when Soviet hegemony in Eastern Europe dissolved.

Read your free e-book: http://installapp.us/mebk/50/en/B01HCDBUL0/book In the American imagination, the Soviet Union was a drab cultural wasteland, a place where playful creative work and individualism was heavily regulated and censored. Yet despite state control, some cultural industries flourished in the Soviet era, including animation. Drawing the Iron Curtain tells the story of the golden age of Soviet animation and the Jewish artists who enabled it to thrive. Art historian Maya Balakirsky Katz reveals how the state-run animation studio Soyuzmultfilm brought together Jewish creative personnel from every corner of the Soviet Union and served as an unlikely haven for dissidents who were banned from working in other industries. Surveying a wide range of Soviet animation produced between 1...
Listen to the full audiobook: http://appgame.space/mabk/30/en/B00G6MOQYW/book The end of communism in Europe has tended to be discussed mainly in the context of political science and history. This book, in contrast, assesses the cultural consequences for Europe of the disappearance of the Soviet bloc. Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, the book examines the new narratives about national, individual and European identities that have emerged in literature, theatre and other cultural media, investigates the impact of the re-unification of the continent on the mental landscape of Western Europe as well as Eastern Europe and Russia, and explores the new borders in the form of divisive nationalism that have reappeared since the disappearance of the Iron Curtain.

We visited at a time when contact with the West was severely restricted. Western goods including vehicles were not allowed to be sold there.Their own citizens were not allowed to leave the country! We were not allowed to take photos anywhere near borders or when our travelling Goverment guides in each country said no photos! We met some very nice people in all the countries even though at that time relationships between the East and West Governments were frosty!
