The division in Europe after World War 2.

Explanation:

Churchill was specifically referring to the imposition of communist governments in Eastern Europe by the Soviet Union and the intransigence over what to do with both Berlin and Germany. As a result Europe, Germany and Berlin became divided until the collapse of the Soviet Union. Use of the word Iron as an adjective by Churchill refers to the fact that this division was enforced and not entered into freely by those under Soviet domination.
