The Policy of Containment & the Truman Doctrine

Описание к видео The Policy of Containment & the Truman Doctrine

The Cold War, which lasts from 1947-1990, begins as a period of heightened tensions between Russia and the United States. It escalates as Joseph Stalin, the leader of the USSR, seeks to spread communism around the globe. The U.S. sees communism as a virus or disease that must be contained. George Kennan develops a theory known as containment, where communist countries must have their ideas isolated or contained. That policy informs Pres. Truman as he establishes the Truman Doctrine, the foreign policy that America follows in response to communism and aimed halting the spread.
