(HC)The quote below is an excerpt from a speech given by Winston Churchill in 1946:An iron curtain has descended across the continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of central and eastern Europe. . . . From what I have seen of our Russian friends and allies during the war, I am convinced that there is nothing they admire so much as strength, and nothing for which they have less respect than weakness, especially military weakness.Source: http://www.historyplace.com/speeches/ironcurtain.htmWhich statement explains how this speech contributed to the start of the Cold War?
