true or false? berlin wall...

Ms. Vader:

Churchill's term "Iron Curtain" predates the Berlin Wall.

"Iron Curtain" refers to the border areas between capitalist and communist countries in Europe during the Cold War.

Berlin Wall refers to the perimeter wall around West Berlin between 1961-1989.

Basically, true. To me, the Berlin wall always seemed the physical representation in the City of Berlin of the "Iron Curtain" that descended between Eastern and Western Europe after WWII.

The fall of the Berlin Wall is a German victory, not a USA victory. Why should Obama go and hog the spotlight? Why should the USA be so arrogant to pretend responsibility for it? We played a role to be sure but in the end it was the Germans, not the USA, who won the victory. The olympics was a potential economic boon for the USA. You should be happy we don't need the defense shield and don't have to waste more money on it. You are really grasping at straws with this criticism.

The Berlin wall and situation were a microcosm of the division in the world of Communism and Democracy or the Cold war. it became the physical iron Curtain.

This is probably true but is not the most symbolic thing the Berlin wall represented.

True.

Which is why the Berlin Wall was nicknamed "The Iron Curtain" by Churchill.

False

Yeah, I suppose you could say that is true, in a dumbed-down, over-simplified sort of way.

Yeah, I'd agree with true as well

True i forget which belonged to who but it was so bad that people on one side couldn't even see people on the other even if they were family
