To what extent can our containment policy be considered a success?

Our containment policy can be considered a success when viewed in its entirety. While there were some areas where we failed to prevent communism from spreading, we were able to stop it from spreading in many places.

Our containment policy can be considered a success when viewed in its entirety. While there were some areas where we failed to prevent communism from spreading, we were able to stop it from spreading in many places.


The goal of the communists was to spread communism throughout the world. We believed we needed to prevent communism from spreading, leading to the development of the containment policy.


We successfully stopped the spread of communism in several places. With the European Recovery Program, we gave economic aid to Western European countries fighting the spread of communism. Turkey and Greece were two countries that benefited from this aid, and both countries didn’t become communist. When the Soviet Union tried to force the Allies out of West Berlin, we used the Berlin Airlift to fly supplies over the Berlin Blockade. The Soviet Union tried to cut off all land routes to West Berlin. The Berlin Airlift continued until the blockade was ended. We also helped South Korea stay noncommunist. When North Korea invaded South Korea in June 1950, we got the United Nations to create a multinational military force to help South Korea fight North Korea. Led by the United States, this multinational military force kept South Korea free and noncommunist. We had more successes stopping the spread of the communism than failures in preventing its spread.
