The containment policy dictated that Communist influence worldwide must be contained within the areas it controlled in the late Forties, and that any Communist effort to expand their control must be repulsed with US help, if necessary by force. The Korean War started by the Communist North Korea invading South Korea; so the Containment policy dictated that the USA should help South Korea to push back the North Korean army.
