Ukraine wasn't a country at all in the 1930s. At that time, it was a region of the Soviet Union, which was indeed communist.
Cuba was the country that saw a successful communist revolution in the 1950's.
During the Cold War the policy of the United States was one of containment of communism. China dominated Asia and it was a communist country. US policy was to try to contain the Chinese spread of communist doctrine in Southeast Asia. In Europe it was containment of Russian communist doctrine and to stop the Russians from attempting to enter Western Europe. It was felt if Russia would invade through Poland and enter central Germany in force. To some extent there is still a bit of that philosophy present in American foreign policy. It can be seen with the American reaction to the Russian take over of parts of the Ukraine. Today NATO is adding troops to Germany.
Communism is a classless stateless society based on production for use, with no rulers or money. It can only exist on a global level, so there can be no such thing as a Communist country.
Rosenberg case was fuel to the anti communist feeling. The case led the country to believe that it was full of communist trying to overthrow the government.
South Korea
they opposed invasion of their country, whatever the politics
Policy of the US that it would defend the Middle East against attack by any communist country. Restatement of the containment policy.
Greece, was the first country were containment was implemented
Absolutely not!!! No communist country has ever become better because of communism.
Back in 1959, North Vietnam was Communist. Until 1975 when the Americans joined the North and captured the south. Now the whole country is Communist. yes the north was communist and it now entirely communist but the Americas did NOT join the north. they went into the south to protect them from the communist because they were afraid of communist invasion as was seen in cuba with the support of the soviets, the other superpower. it wasnt until after 1975 once all the American troops had left ( referred to as vietnamization) that the North captured the south :)
Khmer Rogue
the United states would try to stop democratic nations from becoming communist (APEX)
The US supported the invasion of Cuba because the US did not want a communist country so close to their borders, so that the USSR could not place nuclear warheads so close to the American border not allowing the early warning system time to activate
A takeover of South Korea placed the air and sea space or Japan in danger. This was a situation that the Western powers could not accept or tolerate. ---- Answer The US and other Western powers feared a "domino effect"--that is, the gradual, but definite conversion of Asian countries to Communism. In response, the US enacted a policy containment that aimed to prevent the spread of Communism. Communist North Korea's invasion of noncommunist South Korea presented a threat--another Asian country in the hands of Soviet Union's Communism. Had North Korea succeeded in unifying the Korean peninsula and establishing a communist society, more Asian countries would have been more apt to adopt communism, which could lead to the world domination of communism, which is what the U.S. containment policy hoped to prevent.
