Prime Minister of United Kingdom Winston Churchill delivers a speech at the Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri (501 Westminster Ave, Fulton, MO 65251, United States). US President Harry S. Truman and other officials sit behind him on the stage. Churchill talks about the need to develop understanding with Russia and the situation in Europe. This is an excerpt from his speech entitled “The Sinews of Peace” (popularly known as the ‘Iron Curtain Speech’) and contains that reference. Churchill said “From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, 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, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia, 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.”
