The Cold War Containment policy was a complete bust because we pour money into failing countries so they there economy was strong enough to where they wouldn't have radical thoughts of communism this was referred to as the Truman doctrine and then the Eisenhower doctrine that funded the middle east. Then we went into the police action "war" in Korea so that the domino effect wouldn't allow other nations to fall to communism
Since you know the answer, I am going to throw out a guess and say:
Yes.
Answer:
The policy of containment allowed President Truman to send troops to fight in the Korean war.
Explanation:
The policy of containment is a foreign policy during the Cold War of the United States to limit the spread of communism after World War II. It provided support for countries that rejected communism. Americans fought on the sides of the nationalists to try to stop the spread of communists, especially in Asia. President Truman decided to send troops in Korea through Japan to stop communism entering South Korea. Americans believed that if it not stopped then it might encourage China to invade Taiwan and Japan (domino effect).
