What type of policy is most similar to which Cold War idea?

The policy of containment is most similar to the Cold War idea of preventing the spread of communism. Developed by U.S. diplomat George Kennan, containment aimed to limit Soviet influence globally and counteract the expansion of communist ideology. This strategy shaped American foreign policy throughout the Cold War, leading to various military and diplomatic actions, including the Korean War and the Vietnam War.


Was the division of Germany related to containment theory?

Germany was not divided as a result of the containment theory, but it definitely suffered under it. The containment theory was based on the idea that if one country becomes communist, it will become a chain reaction and more and more countries would also become communist. Therefore, it was the world's job to stop this from happening and "contain" the spread of communism. The US didn't really fight against the USSR on German soil to prevent more communism, like it did in Vietnam.

In the Vietnam war what was the policy of containment?

The Cold War consisted of containing the communist countries where they already were. No further expansion. The Communists tried expanding south of Korea's 38th Parallel in 1950-1953 (Korean War); they failed. The Communists tried expanding into Central America & South America (Che Guevara, one of Castro's Lieutenants), they failed (US Special Forces-Green Berets). The Communists tried expanding south of Vietnam's 17th Parallel from 1955 through 1975 (Vietnam War); they succeeded. During the Vietnam War, there was a second meaning to the word "containment." That was keeping the Vietnam War in Vietnam. Not allowing the war to spread to other countries, and NOT involving the Communist Superpowers (Soviet Union/Red China). Thus, the Vietnam War was fought as a "Limited War"; Limited in the area in which the fighting was to occur AND limited to the use of conventional weapons (NO ATOMIC WEAPONS WOULD BE USED). The US did have a contingency plan to use NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR BOTH THE KOREAN WAR & VIETNAM WAR.

How did Nixons idea of realpollitik differ from the idea of containment?

Nixon's idea of realpolitik emphasized pragmatic and strategic diplomacy over ideological considerations, focusing on national interests and power dynamics rather than the rigid containment of communism. In contrast, the containment policy aimed to prevent the spread of communism globally through a more confrontational and ideological approach. While containment sought to oppose and isolate communist states, realpolitik encouraged engagement with all nations, including those with differing ideologies, to achieve stability and balance of power. This shift allowed for more flexible foreign policy decisions, particularly with key players like China and the Soviet Union.

What were the origins and implications of the containment policy?

Short answer: President harry truman hated communism far more than roosevelt. His idea of containment was to stop communism spreading further. The implications were that it could cause a nuclear full scale war, as both superpowers had weapons strong enough to nuke each other several times over. Containment failed to win over the hearts of the american public when the americans couldnt handle vietnam. They called an action not a war. It caused outcry and devestation in both america and vietnam. Protests all over the street and many were killed. A popular one was : Hey hey LBJ, how many kids have you killed today? The war has many horrifying images such as the My Lai massacre. There were other wars too. Childrens bodies burned by napalm and forest destroyed by agent orange.
