The first part would be the second answer choice. This is because the Iron Curtain was used when describing the soviet union actions of essentially blocking itself off from the rest of western Europe. I am not too sure about the other.

Winston Churchill coined the phrase "Iron Curtain" in reference to what?

The correct answer is, “the buffer zone between the Soviet Union and Western Europe, composed of Communist nations”


  • The Soviet Union blocked itself and his allies from the contact with the west and its allies after the end of World War II in 1945. The Soviet Union did this by creating a geographical restrain dividing Europe into two parts the west and the east. The Berlin Wall was the departure symbol for this curtain.

Why were Chinese leaders concerned about U.N. forces invading North Korea?

The correct answer is, “They believed the enemy would invade them next.”

  • The UN forces were too close to China, North Korea shared a nearly 900-mile-long border with China. However, for some historians this might have been an excuse to fight the war together with the North Koreans. In the book, “The rise and Fall of Communism” Archie Brown mentions that Mao realized that their intervention into the war could consolidate a domestic control and would show China’s capabilities to fight Americans.
