US policy during Cold War?
Foreign Policy: Mainly focused on the policy of containment, the Idea of keeping Communism where it was. The United States was using its political and economic influence in Europe to try and lessen the power of Communist forces.Domestic Policy: Supporting business as well as expanding the middle class became popular ideas. We also saw a rise in popularity of Suburbs and a growth in the white-collar work force.There are books written on this topic. The Cold War was the defining feature of American foreign policy for decades. The Soviet Union was believed to be an imperialist threat to the entire world. The US and the Western world needed to prevent the USSR from rolling across countries the same way they rolled across Eastern Europe after World War II. *The Cold War reinforced the perdominant US policy of paranoia and the ideal of "if we don't do it first they will". The proliferation of nuclear arms during this period has since amplified the notion that America is better than all other countries in the world, and should have "first dibs", e.g. when saying that they should secure America's right to occupy space, beyond all of what is normal acceptable patriotism. *
What does containment policy mean?
President Truman believed the US needed more than a "get tough on the Russians" policy following the war. Russia's history was one of expansion as much as possible and the Soviet Union was following that same idea. Because of the desire of the Soviets to expand westward, and the fact that Stalin had a pathological mistrust of the US, it would be impossible to come to a peaceful settlement with the Soviets. Thus, the policy of containment, developed by George F. Kennan of the State Department, was adopted by the Truman administration. The policy would allow communism where it already existed, but would use all force necessary to prevent any further expansion. In other words, communism would be "contained" where it presently existed. A foreign policy that attempted to prevent the spread of communism
