Can you tell me what are the options to choose from?
Well, fear is created when there is a threat. WW2 Had just ended, so of course America did not want any other nation to become more powerful than them, for the idea that it would end up being like Germany. Americans also wanted to protect democracy, so communism was a major threat to the USA and it's beliefs. Naturally, America wanted to prove dominance to the USSR, thus the beginning of the cold war.
The U.S.<span> government viewed its involvement in the </span>war<span> as a way to prevent a communist takeover of South </span>Vietnam<span>. This was part of the domino theory of a wider containment policy, with the stated aim of stopping the spread of communism worldwide.</span>
