In 1946, Winston Churchill delivered his famous 'Iron Curtain' speech in Fulton, Missouri, warning that the Soviet Union posed a new threat to global peace, declaring that 'an iron curtain has descended across the continent.' Despite initial skepticism and accusations that he was trying to start another war, Churchill's warning proved chillingly accurate as the Cold War between the West and Soviet Union dominated global politics for approximately 40 years.
