George F. Kennan was born in 1904. He was an important historian and an American diplomat who lived in Moscow.
He developed an innovative policy in order to stop Soviet expansion which also meant communism expansion. This policy was called <em>"containment." </em>
Kennan believed that Soviet expansion should be held back without using military forces but instead by controlling some specific crucial territories for the United States. He presumed Stalin had intentions to overthrow western governments.
Furthermore, he claimed that the U.S government should demobilize their troops in Europe.
Ethnic identity refers to a person’s social identity within a larger context based on membership in a cultural or social group. Identifying one's ethnic identity is not as simple as checking a box according to one's skin color. On the contrary, ethnic identity is a complex and multifaceted part of the development of an individual.
