Question

Which of the following are examples of America's policy of containment?
I. Iron Curtain
II. Truman Doctrine
III. North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)

Answer 1

I. Not an example of American containment. The term applies more to Churchill's reference on the wall of Communism forming up in Eastern Europe.

II. Definitely the Truman Doctrine -- containment defined much of what President Truman did to stem the tide of Communism as the Cold War started.

III. NATO was also one of those efforts at containment, a military alliance of defense. The Warsaw Pact was the USSR's answer.
