Read the excerpt from Churchill’s speech in 1946. It is the first time he used the phrase “iron curtain.”Which statement best summarizes what Churchill is saying in this section of his speech?

Churchill describes an “iron curtain” separating Soviet-controlled nations from the rest of Europe. He says that countries in Central and Eastern Europe had come under strong Soviet influence and control. So the best summary is that the Soviet Union had taken over Central and Eastern Europe; Greece was not the only free country in Europe.
