Synopsis
This series examines the important issue of the significance of arbitrary borders in world history These studies describe arbitrary borders as places where people interact differently from the way they would had the boundary not existed. The Iron Curtain symbolised the Cold War - the peaceful but highly sensitive 40-year stand-off between the Soviet Union and the US and its allies. Discover its story from it origins after WWII to the fall of the Berlin Wall., This series examines the important issue of the significance of arbitrary borders in world history These studies describe arbitrary borders as places where people interact differently from the way they would had the boundary not existed Analytical, but easy to read, these brief histories will appeal to a broad sweep of readership The Iron Curtain symbolised the Cold War - the peaceful but highly sensitive 40-year stand-off between the Soviet Union and the US and its allies. Discover its story from it origins after WWII to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989., Visiting Central Europe, in 1962, a visitor would not see a real "Iron Curtain." There was no huge piece of grim drapery splitting Europe between Communist dictatorships and democracies. The Iron Curtain represented the Central European part of the Cold War, the generally peaceful, but highly dangerous, forty-year competition between the United States and its allies and the Soviet Union and its allies. The Iron Curtain symbolically represented the attempt to permanently, artificially, and arbitrarily split one part of Central Europe from the other. Although there was no real iron curtain, there was lots of steel in the form of barbed wire, ground radar, watchtowers, and machine guns in the hands of troops willing to use them. The boundary between democracy and totalitarianism was clear. This book tells the story of the Iron Curtain, and the Cold War it so vividly represented, from the start of World War II to its end with the dramatic fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Book jacket.
