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
The war escalated at an extreme rate after 1965 due to the following; after congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin resolution, Lyndon Johnson had the full power of the American military at his disposal to send to Vietnam and with this massive increase in troops he also began Operation Rolling Thunder. Operation Rolling Thunder involved bombing North Vietnam until Ho Chi Minh ended the insurgency in the south. This did not occur, Johnson then sent a further 145 000 ground troops on search and destroy missions throughout the Vietnamese jungle.
The Anaconda plan, which was enacted in the American Civil War, was designed to defeat the South with as little bloodshed as possible. First, the plan would oversee the taking of the Mississippi River, effectively cutting the South into two parts. After this occurred, the North would then strategically blockade the Eastern and Gulf Seaboard, preventing trade and necessary supplies. This would stifle the economy of the South further, effectively forcing them to surrender.
In the post-World War II era, the 'Marshall Plan' was vitally important for a number of reasons. For one thing, it enabled numerous world-nations (particularly in Europe) to recover from the war more rapidly than they otherwise would have, which enabled political and economic stability in an otherwise turbulent age. For another thing, it deepened the positive relationship between the United States and many members of the world-community in such a way as to provide alliances and associations that proved important in the initial Cold War period.
