Containment



Containment is the American policy of trying to stop the further spread of communism around the world. George Kennan analyzed Soviet policy and behavior. Kennan stated that the Soviet Union, “cannot be easily defeated or discouraged by a single victory on the part of its opponents…but only by intelligent long-range policies.” The containment policy called for the United States to resist the spread of communism in the U.S and the rest of the world.
