The [[Iron Curtain]] referred to the bar to travel, commerce and communication with the free nations of the West 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 dictatorship.  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".
