Translation
What did the term 'Iron Curtain' stand for? For the isolation of ...
- A the Warsaw Pact against the West ✓ Correct answer
- B Northern Germany against Southern Germany
- C Nazi Germany against the Allies
- D Europe against the USA
Explanation
The Iron Curtain was the political and military divide between the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact and the Western states during the Cold War, running roughly along the border between East and West Germany. It described that whole East-West split, not a conflict within Germany or between Europe and the USA.
Tips
- The Iron Curtain means Warsaw Pact against the West, not a German north-south split.
- Don't confuse it with the Berlin Wall, one concrete barrier inside that larger divide.
