IF the term "containment" was ever used in WW2, it certainly wasn't meant in the same context as the "cold war" containment...there were no nuclear weapons during 99% of WW2. Atomic weapons created the "cold war." Without atomic weapons, the Soviets/Red Chinese/etc. would've been fighting the US more times than just Korea and Vietnam...and they would have been "declared total wars." Since Nukes wouldn't have existed, it would have been "war as usual." Man's been fighting wars since before recorded time. Why should things change now(?)...because of atomic weapons they changed! Nukes DO EXIST; and they have since 1945. Thus, the cold war. It was important because the Communists were violating most of the values that the free world considered important. And the communists were seemingly getting more aggressive...therefore, the free world resisted them.
