During the Cold War, U.S. President Harry S. Truman articulated the belief that communism should not be allowed to spread, which became a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy. This policy was further defined in the Truman Doctrine, announced in 1947, which aimed to contain communism and support free peoples resisting subjugation. The phrase "containment" became synonymous with this approach, emphasizing the need to prevent the expansion of Soviet influence globally.
The term Cold War came from Churchill.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was created during the Cold War in 1949 as a military alliance to counter the spread of communism and provide collective defense against potential aggression from the Soviet Union and its allies. NATO's formation marked a significant commitment among Western nations to support one another in the face of communist expansion, reflecting the geopolitical tensions of the era.
No one could predict the future. But the cold war was on. So we had to try to stop the spread of communism.
