The US was against communism. They went to "war" with the Soviet Union (the major communist country) and this was known as the Cold War.
The Marshall Plan
It said that the United States will try to "contain" the spread of Communism. It was said after WWII because the Soviets had gone Communist and they were trying to spread it to Western Europe. That is why the US went to war in Vietnam and Korea. Basically, it is to stop the spread of Communism.
no, we try to stop the spread of communism, we are not communists.
Communism has never existed, whether in Eastern Europe or elsewhere. Communism is a global society with no countries or rulers or classes or money. What existed in Eastern Europe was state capitalism.
Mainly the Vietnam War ?
No one could predict the future. But the cold war was on. So we had to try to stop the spread of communism.
Not physically but they tried to spread communism through out Europe at the time
Hitler tried to conquer everything. So yes.
To try to stop the spread of Communism as America wanted to keep Communism as far from their borders as possible. This was because it threatened their way of life.
Depends how far you stretch the concept of Western Europe. Try Spain, Italy, Denmark, even Wales and Scotland? Even better, look on a map.
