Question

How was America's Cold War foreign policy an extension of principles and policies from earlier eras,and in what ways was it a break with those traditions?

Answer 1

Answer:

1) U.S. foreign policy during the Cold War reflected a bipolar world where the overarching objectives included containment of communism, deterring nuclear Armageddon by threatening it and building a world of free trade supported by international economic institutions.

2) The Cold War affected domestic policy two ways: socially and economically. Socially, the intensive indoctrination of the American people led to a regression of social reforms. Economically, enormous growth spurred by industries related to war was aided by heavy government expansion.

3) Containment was a geopolitical strategic foreign policy pursued by the United States during the Cold War to prevent the spread of communism after the end of World War II. The name was loosely related to the term cordon sanitaire, which was containment of the Soviet Union in the 1940s.
