Did the us policy of containment work during the cold war?

Yes, given the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. never had between them a nuclear war. The Cuban Missile Crisis was the closest they ever came, during the interval of October 14, 1962 until November 20, 1962. The crisis arose over the placement by the U.S.S.R. of nuclear missiles and other assets in Cuba, which is located a mere ninety miles from Miami, Florida. From there, these missiles could have reached anywhere in the continental United States and southern Canada (except perhaps Alaska).U.S. policy has been credited with being proximately causative of the dissolution of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, which occurred between January 19, 1990 and December 31, 1991.

The Soviet Union was a ruthless expansionist empire, as shown both by its actions, in overrunning Eastern Europe, and its statements, such as, most famously, that of Nikita Kruschev who said "we will bury you" in a UN speech (not very diplomatic of him). The USSR was also very heavily armed with both conventional and nuclear weapons. As a result, US policy was shaped by fear.
