What is the main idea of this quote?
An iron curtain has descended across the continent.
Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of
Central and Eastern Europe. Warsaw [in Poland), Berlin,
Prague [in Czechoslovakia) ... all these famous cities and
the populations around them lie in what I must call the
Soviet sphere, and all are subject in one form or another,
not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and, in
many cases, increasing measure of control from Moscow
[the Soviet capital].
-Winston Churchill,
March 5, 1946
O The Soviets have built a blockade made of iron to
control their territory
O The Soviets are tightening their control over Central
and Eastern Europe.
Famous cities in Eastern and Western Europe are
now under British control.
It is hard to understand what the Soviets are doing
because of the Iron Curtain.
