Containment
The U.S. policy of containment, aimed at preventing the spread of communism during the Cold War, significantly shaped its relations with other nations. This approach often led to the U.S. supporting authoritarian regimes that opposed communism, resulting in strained relationships with countries where democratic movements were suppressed. Additionally, containment fueled proxy wars and military interventions, notably in Korea and Vietnam, creating tensions with the Soviet Union and its allies. Overall, containment fostered a global divide between pro-Western and communist states, influencing U.S. foreign policy for decades.
