The word Containment can be traced back to 1947 when a top American diplomat at the American Embassy in Moscow and the US adviser on Soviet relations George Keenan cabled his analysis to the US Home dept.

He put forth a theory of long, patient, but firm and vigilant containment of Russia's expansive tendency.The Truman doctrine of 1947 promising help to Greece and Turkey militarily since the Soviets were pressing for territorial concessions and building of Naval bases can be seen as the first measure of the US foreign policy of Containment.This policy also called for extensive economic aid to the war-torn Western Europe.In 1949 on seeing the East-European countries joining the Soviet bloc led to the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)with 11 counties as a step towards collective security.

What were the causes and consequences of the Truman Doctrine?
Truman was hard-nosed when it came to the Soviet Union. He had never liked, nor trusted, Stalin, and he did not believe that Communism was anything other than dictatorship. When he became President, he let the Soviet leaders know that he would not put up with Soviet attempted expansion into Europe or Asia, following the war. By 1947, Truman had developed a policy that was more than just "getting tough" with the Russians. The "Truman Doctrine" proclaimed that the United States would not tolerate Russian expansion into any areas that were not already under Soviet control. This became known as the Containment Policy. Truman put his policy to the test in 1947 when the Soviets stepped up their support for the Communists in Greece, Italy, and France. In March of 1947, Truman asked Congress to appropriate $400 million in military assistance to the pro-Western governments in Greece and Turkey. It soon became evident to the Soviets, that Truman and the U.S. would not sit by while they tried to expand their system of take over in areas of Europe and Asia. The Truman Doctrine and Containment continued in the administrations of Eisenhower and Kennedy.
