How would you define the policy of "containment"? give some specific examples of how this policy was instituted by the united states throughout the world from 1945 to 1982.

Containment is a U.S. policy that tries to stop the spread of Communism by "containing" it to the areas that it has already spread to. This policy was used after WWll and just before Cold War tensions started to heat up between the U.S. and the Soviet Union because America wanted to stop Communist Russia's influence on the rest of Europe.
