Containment
President Harry S. Truman created the Truman Doctrine which called for the policy of containment during the Cold War era.
The containment policy after World War II was primarily developed by U.S. diplomat George F. Kennan. In his famous "Long Telegram" in 1946 and subsequent article in the "Foreign Affairs" journal, Kennan argued for a strategy to prevent the spread of Soviet influence and communism. This approach became a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy during the Cold War, guiding actions in various global conflicts and alliances.

Containment
During the Cold War, diplomat George Kennan proposed the policy of containment to prevent the spread of communism. This strategy aimed to restrict Soviet influence and communist expansion by supporting countries vulnerable to Soviet pressure. Kennan believed that through diplomatic, economic, and military means, the U.S. could contain communism and eventually lead to its decline.
George Kennan's "Long Telegram" essentially depicted the USSR driven by expansionist Communist ideology. It gave the soviets the name that they would constantly probe for weaker nations.
