statement that Reagan's speech alone ended Cold War is oversimplification, although it was symbolically most important
The [[Iron Curtain]] referred to the bar to travel, commerce and communication with the nations of the West and the USSR erected by the [[Soviet Union]] after [[World War Two]]. The phrase was coined by [[Winston Churchill]], in 1946, in a speech at [[Westminster College]] in Fulton, [[Missouri]]. The [[Berlin Wall]] was perhaps its most visible symbol, dividing the city into the free [[West Berlin]] and the [[East Berlin]] under Soviet [[dictator]]ship. The Iron Curtain's shredding began with [[Ronald Reagan]]'s demand in 1987 that Premier [[Mikhail Gorbachev]] of the Soviet Union "tear down this wall".
