=Containing Communism=

The US tried to contain communism by using two different ways. The Truman Doctrine and the marshall plan. The truman Doctrine was a plan to fight against communism while the Marshall Plan was a plan rebuild our own and European economies. These plans helped contain communism. Their plan was to keep communism in Russia. This is because the Russian government and economy were already bad so if they kept it there, Russia would fall apart without war.

=Berlin Airlift=

The Berlin Airlift was the plan to get supplies and food to Eastern Germany after the divide. Before this, East Germany was broken and was running out of food and supplies. American airplanes delivered thousands of tons to East Germany.
