detente and containment
The U.S. began the policy of containment in 1946 primarily in response to the expansionist actions of the Soviet Union after World War II. American leaders feared that communism would spread to other countries, threatening democratic governments and capitalism. The strategy aimed to prevent the further spread of communism by supporting countries resisting Soviet influence, which ultimately shaped U.S. foreign policy during the Cold War. Key events, such as the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan, exemplified this commitment to containment.
The primary goal of the US containment policy after World War II was to prevent the spread of communism beyond the countries where it already existed. This strategy aimed to counter Soviet influence globally, particularly in Europe and Asia, by supporting free nations resisting communist pressures. Through various means, including military alliances, economic aid, and diplomatic efforts, the US sought to contain the ideological and territorial expansion of the Soviet Union. Ultimately, containment was a cornerstone of American foreign policy during the Cold War.
The period of U.S. foreign policy that focused on the containment of communism is primarily known as the Cold War, which lasted from the late 1940s to the early 1990s. This strategy was articulated in the Truman Doctrine and implemented through various means, including military alliances like NATO, economic aid programs such as the Marshall Plan, and direct interventions in conflicts around the world, such as in Korea and Vietnam. The goal was to prevent the expansion of Soviet influence and the spread of communist ideology globally.
At the end of World War II, U.S. foreign policy shifted towards containment of communism and the establishment of a liberal international order. This was characterized by the Marshall Plan, which aimed to rebuild Europe economically and politically, and the formation of NATO to counter Soviet influence. The U.S. also took a leading role in creating international institutions like the United Nations, promoting democracy and human rights globally. Overall, the focus was on preventing the spread of communism while fostering economic cooperation among Western nations.
Containment was the foreign policy meant to resist the expansion of the Soviet Union. This policy was implemented by the United States in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

The term "containment policy" that most US people are familiar with is the "containment of communism" during cold war. Meaning, stopping the spread of communism world wide. Actually the answer your looking for is the Marshall Plan
That would be the CONTAINMENT POLICY. The fear was that, while the Soviet Union (and later China) were too large to militarily engage without starting World War III, an effective strategy would be to prevent Communism to expanding into other areas.
