soviet communism was quickly spreading into countries in south East Asia (particularly ones with unstable governments). The US felt that it was in its best interests (and that of the capitalistic and democratic world) to limit the growth of Communism and hopeful prevent the preliterate over throw of the ruling class that Karl Marx had predicted in his communist manifesto. basically the us wanted to accomplish two main goals in Asia.

1. so secure capitalism and democracy

2. reduce the influence of its biggest rial, the USSR
