Containment Strategy
The "Containment Strategy" refers to a geopolitical approach aimed at preventing the expansion of a hostile power or ideology. This strategy was notably employed by the United States during the Cold War to limit the influence of Soviet Communism around the world. By using a combination of military, economic, and diplomatic measures, the goal was to stop the spread of communism to other nations.
Containment involved various tactics, including forming alliances, supporting friendly governments, and engaging in military interventions when necessary. The strategy was based on the belief that if the spread of communism could be contained, it would eventually collapse under its own weight.
