Answer:

effective

Explanation:

The "containment policy" was the U.S. approach to containing, or preventing, the spread of Communism after World War II. The idea was to make other countries prosperous enough to avoid the temptation of communism.

An early test of containment came in Greece and Turkey. In 1946, a civil war broke out in Greece, pitting Communist groups against the British-supported government. At the same time, the Soviet Union was pressuring Turkey to allow it to build naval bases on its northwestern coast, thereby giving the Soviet Black Sea Fleet easy access to the Mediterranean. When Great Britain announced it no longer had the resources to help Greece and Turkey meet the threats to their independence, the United States stepped in. President Truman asked Congress for $400 million in military and economic aid for Greece and Turkey in March 1947. Truman cited the United States' obligation to back free peoples who were resisting control by an armed minority or outside pressures. This policy, known as the Truman Doctrine, appeared to work: The Communists were defeated in the Greek Civil War in October 1949; and the foreign aid helped strengthen the Turkish economy.

In what ways were art and literature key elements in this East Asia cultural complex?
Fed [463]

The arts and literature of East Asia have important commonalities. One can justify these connections based on the geographic designations as well as long standing cultural connections between these regions. So the geographic definition would include Southeast Asia in the East Asia cultural complex. Although in much of the literature, the region is treated separately. However, the cultural connections are well established.  These connections are linked to the influence of Buddhism in China. Japan and Korea. China has become the dominant culture to reference in East Asia. Much of this is related to its distinct development. China's two major dynasties, the Han and Tang (618-907) were truly international in scope. Korea's location placed it in a subservient position to China. Japan although more independent than Korea was deeply influenced by Chinese religious practice and philosophy. Moreover, despite the vigorous assertion of national cultures in Japan, Chinese writing styles predominated. Chinese innovations in writing, print and moveable type caused it to play an important and dominant role in literary production.  Japanese literature was heavily influenced by the Chinese as well.  Korean literature was also sometimes produced in classical Chinese.
