Read the line from a speech by winston churchill in 1946.

an iron curtain has descended across the continent.

which best summarizes the meaning of churchill’s statement?

the berlin wall separates east germany from west germany.
europe is divided into rich and poor nations.
the soviet union has taken control of eastern europe.
now that the war is over, europe can look forward to peace.

C) the Soviet Union has taken control of Eastern Europe

It cannot be a) because the iron curtain stretched throughout Europe, not just Germany and the Berlin Wall was built about 20 years after this speech

b) is not correct as the iron curtain seperated the USSR and its satellite states from the rest of Europe and had nothing to do with wealth

D) is not correct as it is the Cold War, and the iron curtain showed how tensions were worsening and peace was decreasing.

Hope this helps!
