Ring Up the Curtain was created on 1919-04-27.
He did not, Stalin did. Churchill just named it. Surprisingly, it wasn't Churchill who came up with the name - it was the Nazi minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels. An evil man, Goebbels, but not all evil men are stupid. A saying of his is still the motto of all propagandists - "it doesn't matter what is true, only what is believed."
Nobody, the bombs were dropped on Japan in 1945 ending WW2. The "Cold War" didn't start until about 1947. Look up Winston Churchill's "Iron Curtain" speech.
Winston Churchill made the iron curtain speech at Westminster college in Fulton, Missouri. There is currently a museum dedicated to him and the circumstances surrounding the speech on campus. For the 50th anniversary of the speech there was a black tie dinner attended by several members of his family as well as Margaret Thatcher. I was fortunate enough to sit with her for about ten minutes as we enjoyed two glasses of wine and she lightheartedly compared her own style and public perception to Winston. There is also a restaurant/pub in Fulton named Sir Winston's in honor of that brief moment in history.
stalin wanted to block people from going to western europe so he made the iron curtain to block them.
The Iron Curtain is a term that was coined by Churchill during his speech on March 5, 1946. Its not actually a curtain, its made up of different countries between the Soviet Union and germany.

an iron curtainIn a speech at Westminster College, Fulton Missouri on March 5th 1946, he said that "from Stettin on the Baltic to Trieste on the Adriatic, an Iron Curtain has descended over Europe".It sounds like you are referring to the term "iron curtain" which had been used previously but which was picked up by Churchill as a theme in describing the spread of Communism in Europe.Churchill used the term "iron curtain" in a 12 May 1945 telegram he sent to U.S. President Harry S. Truman regarding his concern about Soviet actions, stating[a]n iron curtain is drawn down upon their front. We do not know what is going on behind.Churchill repeated the words in another telegram to President Truman on 4 June 1945, in which he protested against such a U.S. retreat to what was earlier designated as, and ultimately became, the U.S. occupation zone, saying the military withdrawal would bringSoviet power into the heart of Western Europe and the descent of an iron curtain between us and everything to the eastward.
THe countries "behind the iron curtain" were: GDR (German Democratic Republic), Poland,Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania. Of course it was not a curtain, but Churchill referred to the dividedness of Europe with this word: the capitalist and the communist part of it.

Josef Goebbels was the first person to speak of the Iron Curtain. He explained this in his article named The Year 2000 in 1945 saying: "If the German people surrender, the Soviets will occupy . . . the whole east and southeast of Europe in addition to the larger part of the Reich. In front of this enormous territory, including the Soviet Union, an iron curtain will go down . . . The rest of Europe will fall in political chaos which will be but a period of preparation for the coming of Bolshevism.
Stalin died in 1953; the Berlin Wall went up in about '60/61.
