American Communist Containment Policy 1945-1953

Containment policy 1945 - 1953 The United States used various methods to contain the Soviet influence during the period from 1945 to 1953. When the United States uses its policies and actions as part of the struggle to save capitalist ideology from communist suppression, such as propaganda and bending muscles is very important. Ideology is the main cause of conflict between the United States of America and the Soviet Union. This ideological difference inevitably leads to distrust of the two superpowers. The Soviet Union encouraged free enterprises and industrial privatization, thinking that the nation-controlled economy impedes free enterprises and opposed the economic system of the United States.

The term confinement is closely related to the policy of President Harry Truman (1945 - 53), including the establishment of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) which is a joint defense agreement. President Dwight Eisenhower (1953 - 1961) complied with the competitor's rollback principle, but refused to intervene in the Hungarian uprising in 1956. President Lyndon Johnson (1963 - 1966) constrains the reasons for his policy in Vietnam. President Richard Nixon (1969-74) collaborated with his senior adviser, Henry Kissinger, to refuse to control friendship between the Soviet Union and China; this relaxation or mitigation tension is the result of trade and cultural relations Accompanied by expansion

One of the first appointments by Eisenhower in January 1953 was to review the foreign policy of the United States. He generally agreed with Truman 's containment containment policy. Task Force studied and recommended three possible strategies. The latter two options were supported by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, who advised the use of the threat of nuclear weapons against the Soviet forces. He believes that after resolving the military defense issue, the free world can "tolerate long and delayed political attacks."

In 1953, containment policies were replaced by deterrence policies, and nuclear options replaced traditional ones. But Henry Kissinger believes that the United States lacks enough conventional power to consider communism expansion worldwide and believes that nuclear choice for this purpose is catastrophic for the world. The end result of the Kissinger 's proposal would be that the United States could not compete with inactive and communist growth (Kissinger, 1957)
