Fears of a digital divide, 75 years after Iron Curtain
Winston Churchill knew about the theatre of war. After all, he was a great political orator who led Britain through most of World War II. But his theatrics during a peacetime speech in the United States in 1946 would go down in history as one of his most famous and important performances, serving as the opening salvo of the Cold War. Seventy-five years ago this month, Churchill took to the stage at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri and declared in a statement called 'Sinews of Peace' that an 'Iron Curtain’ was falling - a major divide separating the communist world from the west.
