+The **Iron Curtain** was a political, ideological, and physical boundary that divided Europe into two separate areas from the end of [World War II](/wiki/World_War_II) until the end of the [Cold War](/wiki/Cold_War). This symbolic barrier represented the deep divide between the Soviet-led communist states of Eastern Europe and the capitalist Western states.
