Answer:
Containment.
Explanation:
The policy of containment is a foreign policy proposed by the government under the Presidency of Harry S. Truman to limit the powers of the Soviet Union and its spread of communism after World War II in 1947. This policy was a reply to the Soviet Union when it started to expand its communist control in Eastern Europe and Asia. The idea of containment policy was to make countries well-off enough to avoid the lure of the Soviet Union. It provided support for countries that rejected communism. Americans fought on the sides of the nationalists to try to stop the spread of communists.
Congress was split, as the French had helped the young United States during the Revolutionary War, however, many where confused what direction the revolution was going (spoiler alert, the French Revolution traded a monarchy for a dictatorship with Napoleon at the helm - so it didin't accomplish a whole lot).
Although both parties(the Democratic-Republicans and Federalists) had different hopes for the french revolution, they both agreed that war would be economically not possible and would possibly open the U.S up to attack, so the U.S remained neutral.
