Winston Churchill The Iron Curtain Speech, March 5, 1946
Soon after the end of World War II, Winston Churchill traveled to America. On March 5, 1946, he gave a speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri. The speech warned of the Soviet Union's attempt to surround and take over all neighboring nations. The speech was named "The Sinews of Peace," but it came to be better known as "The Iron Curtain Speech." These are some excerpts from that speech.
