What Winston Churchill refers to as the "iron curtain" is communism and free democracy (capitalism). The iron curtain signifies the boundary that separates Europe from each other (East and West) and eventually the start of the Cold War. The west led by the United States while the east was led by the Soviet Union (USSR).
