press quarter on the trip to fulton, missouri. i think no comment is a splendid expression, he told reporters who asked what he was say at fulton. by using it again and again. throughout his life, churchill had craved the world stage. and here he was once again, drawing to the fire of controversy that his words were sure to bring. >> this was the moment he waited for. the voices ominous warning about the threat of communism in europe. churchill had always possess and uncanny premonition of history and its implications. his rich oratory often inspired a broad range of reactions. his moment in fulton would be no different. everyone anticipated controversy. churchill, did not disappoint. >> stepping in the verdict through the adriatic, an iron curtain has descended upon us. behind the line, lionel the capitals of the ancient status of central and eastern europe. berlin, rome, vienna, budapest, belgrade, bucharest and austria, all these famous -- and the populations around them lie in a must go over to the soviet and all our subjects,

fulton, missouri's westminster college invited winston churchill to speak in march of 1946, not long after the british prime minister who guided britain through world war ii was voted out of office. the townspeople welcomed churchill into president harry truman with a parade and 2700 gathered in the college gym and heard churchill declare an iron curtain has descended across the continent. next we look back over 75 years at one of the cold year's most iconic speeches. timothy riley joins us from fulton, missouri with an excerpt from instant shirttails speech. from stettin in the baltic to trieste in the adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the continent. behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of central and eastern europe. warsaw, berlin, prague, vienna, budapest, belgrade, bucharest and sofia, all these famous cities and the populations around them lie in what i must call the soviet sphere, and all are subject in one form or another, not only to soviet influence but to a very high and, in many cases, increasing measure of control from moscow. an attemp

both of which were subjects of the speech made 75 years ago in fulton, missouri. regarding the foreign policy the american mind is by bifurcated. on one, hand we are a nation of immigrants. we are all descended from people who came here to get away from their, wherever there was. in places=z,Ñc@< entangled with wars and revolutions. so americas instinctive isolation isolationism seems likely when it sleeps at all. on the other hand, we are a cradle nation whose creed impels us to lean into the world in a way that churchill encouraged. and in a way that saved churchill's nation as he will knew on the night of pearl harbor when we were blasted into the world conflict. today there is much american soul searching about the nature of our nation. there are those who advocate a kind of tribal nationalism, and ethnonationalism suited for what these advocates call a caucasian christian nation. but a few europeans have understood america better than some of today's americans do. prime minister margaret thatcher, the moisture chilean britain since churchill himself, correct

to missouri in 1946 we also have with us. the incomparable his writer of popular history one of the great story finders and storytellers of her generation candice millard whose books have taken us into the lives of theodore roosevelt of james garfield and yes well, winston churchill. so without much more for me, i'd like to start with crosby and ask. set the set the stage for us paint the picture. how did it happen the churchill came to missouri? and what was the scene? what was that day? like so it is you have to start off by asking yourself there. they're actually so many reasons. this shouldn't have happened. i mean small town in, missouri fulton a small college westminster, which was failing at the at the time there were only 200 students because of the draft and world war ii and and churchill churchill had just been defeated a few months earlier while he was with meeting harry truman for the first time at potsdam the the british held an election and an overwhelming vote against him though. he remained the leader of the o

first, his speech elevated an axiom from a great son from the state of missouri, mark twain. twain said god invented war to teach americans geography. second, churchill's speech announced the war, which would continue for 43 years. as he did in the 1930s, in the 1940s, churchill saw things early and he said things clearly. i have a long distance disagreement with my friend andrew roberts, the most recent and in my judgment the best bieg biographer. which historical figure gets the bronze medal for third place? when churchill spoke at westminster college, he did something great orators can do. he implanted in the vocabulary of his era, a phrase that caught the ear's imagination, anxiety, a phrase that riveted attention and distilled into two two-syllable words the high stakes of politics. the phrase was, of course, iron curtain. the word iron suggested the danger of permanence, as didt beginning in august 1961, the concrete of the berlin wall. part of churchill's realism which is my suggest today is the knowledge that nothing necessarily lasts, nothing. the only political thin

timothy, explain to us what winston churchill was doing in fulton, missouri on march 5th, 1946. >> 75 years ago and a day. it's a question we get asked every day here at american national churchill museum. why in the world would winston churchill visit westminster college in central missouri in the heart of america? i guess the simple answer is the college asked him to come, but the longer answer is a little more complicated. we have to take you back, really, to the end of world war ii. there was v.e. day in europe in may of 1945. the allies had been victorious in world war ii in europe. things were looking good for churchill, for harry truman, and, of course, the other of the big three in the alliance, joseph stalin. they had won the war in europe. shortly after there was a general election in britain and churchill's party lost the election. so arguably the most recognizable figure in the world in winston churchill is without a job. he is no longer prime minister. he is by all accounts somewhat taken aback, despondent, somewhat depressed. his wife clementine famously said to winston,

was to admit, missouri into the union as a slave state. also to admit maine into the union is a free state. so if you will this continued a practice prior to 1820 where when states got admitted into the union. they got admitted in pairs one slave state one free state. and the reason why was to keep the balance of the senate evenly divided between slave states and free states. now except for missouri -- slavery north of 36 degrees 30 minutes latitude. in addition, he was also involved with centering andrew jackson now, this is a little bit of a bank story. because henry clay and andrew jackson were political rights. where they went up against one another in the election of 1832 andrew jackson won henry clay lost. the slavery as with many political rivalries also became intensely personal. so when you asked to andrew jackson about henry clay, you said the following about henry clay the basis meanest scoundrel, they ever disgraced the image of his god. so not exactly real flattering words here. now not to be out done. henry clay was also aske

first his speech validated an axiom from a great son of the state of missouri. perhaps the greatest mark twain. try and said that god invented to teach americans geography. winston churchill is the reason why americans know that stetson is on the baltic and trieste is on the adriatic. second churchill speech announced the onset of the cold war which would continue for 43 years. as he did in the 1930s. in the 1940s churchill saw things early and he said things clearly i have an amiable long-distance disagreement with my friend andrew roberts the most recent and in my judgment the best biography of churchill. as a child of central, illinois. i insist that lincoln is the greatest figure in the history of world politics andrew insist that it is churchill. this much is indisputable. the only remaining argument concerns which historical figure gets the bronze medal for third place. when churchill spoke at westminster college, he did something that's great orders can do. he implanted in the vocabulary of his era. a phrase that caught the eras imagination anxieties puzz
