Iron Curtain - On the border between the West & East
For the explorers of the world history.
Open to all who wants to explore world history. Organised by Biology Centre CAS & Faculty of Science USB.
The Iron Curtain was initially a non-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 symbolizes the efforts by the Soviet Union (USSR) to block itself and its satellite states from open contact with the West and its allied states.
It later became a term for the 7,000-kilometre (4,300 mi) long physical barrier of fences, walls, minefields, and watchtowers that divided the "east" and "west". The Berlin Wall was also part of this physical barrier until 09 Nov 1989.
