Section A: The topic of this investigation is to ask whether the Iron Curtain Speech, also known as the Sinews of Peace, given by Winston Churchill in 1946 was or was not an accurate reflection of the situation in Europe at the time. The geographic region is continental Europe. The scope or period of this question is from 1945, a year before the speech – 1956 to when the predictions could be said/argued to be true. The method used to answer this question is to use different sources, primary and secondary from the website. The main source is the complete speech which must be analyzed to grasp its true meaning. “The Sand top confirms this. I will use books on the Cold War and various websites on the discourse itself. These sources will push both parties to accept or reject the application. Word Count: 141 Section C: Source A – Cartoon, British cartoonist Illingworth, March 6, 1946 This is a 1946 cartoon by British cartoonist Illingworth that was published in the Daily Mail on March 6, the day after Churchill's Fulton speech. The purpose of this is to show Churchill peeking under a tent, clearly that tent represents the so called “Iron Curtain” and how it separated Europe into two different parts, the Western Bloc and the Eastern Bloc. This is an interpretation of events at the moment as seen by other countries, which have negative connotations for the country represented and this shows British public opinion and opinion clearly stems from the “Iron Curtain” discourse. This can also be seen as a political commentary for readers on the events happening in Europe at the moment. The merit of this cartoon is that it gives different interpretations of the events and of them. The limitation of this... medium... is to create a sort of buffer zone between them and the West, occupying Eastern Europe out of fear that the West might one day attack the Soviet Union. Anne disagrees with this saying they didn't think that way, the people who occupied Eastern Europe and the people who collaborated with the Soviets didn't think in those terms but the generals who came to the region thought they were overstepping the borders of the socialist revolution and it was only a matter of time that they would move Eastern Europe into Western Europe. People who disagree with the Iron Curtain Joseph Stalin claims that Winston Churchill's racial theories started the war. Only nations that speak the English language are fully and more valuable than other non-speaking nations, which means they can decide anyone's destinies. This is Stalin's response to Winston Churchill's speech.
