Discovery of the North Pole
There is controversy over who the true discoverer of the North Pole really is. There is no doubt, however, that Frederick Albert Cook (June 10, 1865 – August 5, 1940) American explorer and physician, along with another American explorer, Robert Edwin Peary, Sr. (May 6, 1856 – February 20, 1920), both claimed (though separately achieved) to have reached the ultimate unconquered destination of the era; the frozen unknown at the geographic north point of the Earth’s axis of rotation, where children imagine Santa Claus lives. (A caveat is not to confuse geographic north with magnetic north). We are referring to the discovery of geographic north.

The Iron Curtain
What Was the Iron Curtain? How was the Iron Curtain created?
After World War II a barrier was enacted by the Soviet Union. And on March 5, 1946, Winston Churchill used the term in a speech where he said, “From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Ardiatic, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent.” Churchill was speaking metaphorically representing a political, military, and ideological sealing off, of the Soviet Union from European allies and noncommunist areas.
The Iron Curtain was not an actual, physical wall. It was a political divide of Europe by the Soviet Union (USSR). This divide saw a weakening after Stalin’s death in 1953, but was again strengthened in 1961 with an actual, constructed Berlin Wall. The Fall of the Berlin Wall – Research History
It was not until1989–90 that we saw the disappearance of the Iron Curtain era when the communists abandoned their government of one-party rule in eastern Europe.
