Whakakiia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te 5 o Poutu-te-rangi 1946, i tana whaikorero i Westminster College i Fulton, Missouri, i kii a Winston Churchill "he atarangi" kua taka ki Uropi. I whakaahuatia e ia a Stalin hei takahi i tētahi "Pare rino" i waenganui i te Rāwhiti me te Uru. I whakautu a Stalin mā te whakapae e kore e taea te noho tahi i waenganui i ngā whenua Communist me te Uru. I waenganui o te tau 1948 te Soviet Union
i whakatakoto i tētahi aukati ki te rohe ki te Uru o te nohoanga i Berlin.
