Paper Summary:

A description of how the doctrine of containment expanded from a solely European initiative to include the entire world. This paper discusses the Truman Doctrine, Marshall Plan, Korean War and the Chinese civil war.

From the paper:

"In February 1946, a sixteen- page cable, sent from Moscow to Washington by a staff officer in the American embassy, first introduced the idea of containment. George Kennan's "long telegram" and subsequent "Mr. X." article in Foreign Affairs in July 1947, concluded that the Soviet Union, left unchecked, would expand into the power vacuum created in Europe after World War II. To prevent all of Europe from coming under the reign of this militaristic dictatorship, Soviet influence needed to be "contained" within its current boundaries."
