Question

Which best symbolizes the Soviet Union’s control over the people of Eastern Europe?
A. Berlin Airlift
B. Iron Curtain
C. containment policy
D. Marshall Plan

Answer 1

The Iron Curtain symbolized the ideological conflict and 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 symbolized efforts by the Soviet Union to block itself and its dependent and central European allies off from open contact with the west and non-communist areas. On the East side of the Iron Curtain were the countries that were connected to or influenced by the former Soviet Union. On either side of the Iron Curtain, states developed their own international economic and military alliances:
-Member countries of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance and the Warsaw Pact, with the Soviet Union as the leading country.
-Member countries of the European Community and of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and associated countries with the United States as the leading country.

So yes, \(B.~the ~Iron~Curtain\) best symbolizes the Soviet Union’s control over the people of Eastern Europe :)
