Answer:  Containment policy was intended to prevent communism from spreading beyond the Soviet Union and its allied states in Eastern Europe.

Context/details:

The policy of containment set the tone for US foreign policy by focusing on keeping communism and the Soviet Union's influence limited, rather than by trying to confront the Soviet Union directly or eliminate communism completely.  

George F. Kennan recommended the policy of containment which set the tone for US involvement in world relations following World War II.  Kennan was an American diplomat in Moscow after World War II.  In 1946, he sent what became known as "the long telegram" of his advice about what the USA needed to do about the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).  

In those days, everyone feared an ultimate confrontation between the USA and the USSR -- that the Cold War would someday explode into a massive heated conflict between the superpowers.  Kennan, in Moscow, had much foresight to see the internal problems the USSR had.  He advised not pushing the conflict too much, but instead just try to "contain" the Soviet Union and wait for their system to collapse under the weight of its own problems.  Kennan was right.  It took almost 50 years, but eventually the communist system in the USSR fell apart.  [The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics came to an end in 1991.]

The most money from a state's treasury in spent every year on what
Jlenok [28]
Well, the money from a state's treasury is mostly spent on Schools, Library's, and safety construction(as in construction to help safety like speed bumps and road signs). In a shorter term i would say the public. When a school gets a new sign or a new speed bump here and there the state helps that school get those needed items. The future is depending on future generations and at this very moment, the new generation is in schools preparing for the future. So all said, I would say the public.

valentina_108 [34]

Might Be This One:

The Iroquois Confederacy were six tribes who lived, fought, ate, built, and worked together to better their lives. They created laws and government. Some of their ideas worked so well they helped our country create its first democratic government and constitution.

Most likely this one:

The Peacemaker established clans within the nations of the Iroquois Confederacy. The clan system united the nations and ensured peace among them. They are still an important part of the identity of Iroquois people today. They were an influence on the Founders of America.

Why do you think that states dropped voting requirements for white men in the Early Republic? Why did those same states add new
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The rise of political parties as the fundamental organizing unit of the Second (Two) Party System represented a sharp break from the values that had shaped Republican and Federalist political competition. Leaders in the earlier system remained deeply suspicious that parties could corrupt and destroy the young republic. At the heart of the new legitimacy of parties, and their forthright celebration of democracy, was the dramatic expansion of VOTING RIGHTS for white men.

Hope this helps
