If you're talking about the US containment of Communism during the cold war it was known as the Truman Doctrine. President Truman promised to contain the spread of communism across the world, and that the US would help any country that had pressure from Communism whether it be external or internal.

The US produced the Marshal Plan to stop Communism spreading in Europe because Communism came to poor people. The Marshal Plan meant that the US would provide any country who wanted help with money, advisers, Natural Resources, and industrial equipment. Stalin banned the Communist Eastern European countries from taking the Marshal Plan.

In Asia the US followed the Truman Doctrine by helping, South Korea in the Korean War, and South Vietnam in the Vietnam War. In both cases, the Communist north attempted to capture the Capitalist south. Also when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979, President Carter (and later President Reagan) provided the Mujahadin, who were fighting the USSR, with weapons.

What were some of the ways Europe Asia and Latin America use the policy of containment?

The term containment has been and can be used for anything; the containment of a disease; the containment of water; containing a fire. Or containing a criminal in a building until he is either overtaken or surrenders to law enforcement. Containment was used in Europe, Asia, and Latin America to contain problems encountered by those regions. During the cold war the "term" CONTAINMENT was used to control communism. That was a name used to prevent the spread of communism. Military force was used to prevent that spread. Either by just showing up and letting them see the military force; as happened during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. Or by actually USING the military force by killing them in war; as happened in the Korean War and Vietnam War.
