Churchill used the 'iron curtain' metaphor to describe the Soviet sphere of influence, which he argued had divided the European continent along a line stretching from the Baltic to the Adriatic. The speech went down in history as one of the texts that symbolized the growing tension between the West and the Soviet Union and that are considered a rhetorical harbinger of the Cold War era.
