In what ways was the united states’ involvement in the vietnam conflict an extension of its overall cold war policies?

Involvement in Vietnam was due to the United States policy of containment, which is the attempt to spread the effect of communism. This was because the US believed in something known as the domino effect, which was the notion that if one country fell to communist rule, surrounding countries would follow suit.
