Detailed explanation-1: -Iron Curtain, the political, military, and ideological barrier erected by the Soviet Union after World War II to seal off itself and its dependent eastern and central European allies from open contact with the West and other noncommunist areas.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Iron Curtain specifically refers to the imaginary line dividing Europe between Soviet influence and Western influence, and symbolizes efforts by the Soviet Union to block itself and its satellite states from open contact with the West and non-Soviet-controlled areas.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Iron Curtain was a barrier that divided capitalist and communist nations. This barrier was not physical but instead economic and political. On one side of the curtain, most countries were communist, and on the other side, most were capitalist.
