Montezuma II ruled over the Aztec Empire during the Spanish Conquest. He was the 9th Aztec Emperor and he led and expanded them to its greatest size. But it was under his rule that the Empire fell apart.

<span><span>The Cultural Revolution, formally the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, was a social-political movement that took place in the People's Republic of China from 1966 until 1976. Set into motion by Mao Zedong, then Chairman of the Communist Party of China, its stated goal was to preserve 'true' Communist ideology in the country by purging remnants of capitalist and traditional elements from Chinese society, and to re-impose Maoist thought as the dominant ideology within the Party. The Revolution marked the return of Mao Zedong to a position of power after the Great Leap Forward. The movement paralyzed China politically and significantly affected the country economically and socially.</span>

Answer:
Yes, it was. In fact, the containment policy prevented communism from expanding from Eastern Europe to other nations in Western Europe, Southern Asia or the Americas.
Explanation:
Containment was the foreign policy strategy adopted by the United States after World War II, aimed at stopping the extension of the Soviet zone of influence beyond its limits reached in March 1947 and at countering the states likely to adopt communism.
Mostly, support to foreign states was through financial aid, notably with the Marshall Plan, but also military with the creation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Containment was an important part of the Truman Doctrine, which aimed to actively intervene in support of foreign political regimes in order to fight communism.
