Marshall, the Chief of Staff under presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman, and the Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense under Truman. The Marshall plan was created to help rebuild the economy of Western Europe after the destruction of WW2. It provided more than $15 billion in rebuilding finances to Europe. gisellerahimi https://padlet.com/gisellerahimi/ph0mcj94q88rmlpn/wish/663747952 2020-07-28 01:40:47 UTC https://padlet.com/gisellerahimi/ph0mcj94q88rmlpn/wish/663747952 This is an example of containment because it caused the U.S to put Europe in a better economic state, thus improving overall political relations. This would allow the countries of Europe to develop the means to protect themselves from communist propoganda and regimes. gisellerahimi https://padlet.com/gisellerahimi/ph0mcj94q88rmlpn/wish/663750955 2020-07-28 01:44:50 UTC https://padlet.com/gisellerahimi/ph0mcj94q88rmlpn/wish/663750955 When WW2 finally ended in 1945, Berlin was split into East Berlin, controlled by the Soviet Union, and West Berlin, controlled by the Allies. Concerned about the prosperous nearby West Berlin, which was a threat to communist forces because it was a capitalist state, Soviet forces began a blockade of West Berlin in an attempt to cut it off from its reasources. The Allies, not wanting to reliquish their position of power in Berlin, were forced to bring resources to the people of Berlin via commercial plane. gisellerahimi https://padlet.com/gisellerahimi/ph0mcj94q88rmlpn/wish/663754066 2020-07-28 01:48:45 UTC https://padlet.com/gisellerahimi/ph0mcj94q88rmlpn/wish/663754066 The Berlin Airlift was an example of containment because it allowed the Allies to keep West Berlin in a prosperous state, thus mantaining their position of power within Europe. This allowed West Berlin to have the ability to resist Communist forces that would otherwise overtake West Berlin in a "Domino effect" and essentially cut the Allies out of their position of power. The loss of this position of power would cause communism to slowly spread across the rest of Europe. gisellerahimi https://padlet.com/gisellerahimi/ph0mcj94q88rmlpn/wish/663757191 2020-07-28 01:52:58 UTC https://padlet.com/gisellerahimi/ph0mcj94q88rmlpn/wish/663757191 The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was established to secure cooperative security against the Soviet Union. It was the first peacetime organization that the U.S had joined outside of the Western Hemisphere. gisellerahimi https://padlet.com/gisellerahimi/ph0mcj94q88rmlpn/wish/663763715 2020-07-28 02:00:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gisellerahimi/ph0mcj94q88rmlpn/wish/663763715 NATO was an example of containment because it was created with the sole purpose of providing defense against the Soviet Union, the main communist power of the time. Essentially, NATO was created to provide defense against the Soviet Union's anticipated attempts at spreading communistic idealogies. gisellerahimi https://padlet.com/gisellerahimi/ph0mcj94q88rmlpn/wish/663765893 2020-07-28 02:03:45 UTC https://padlet.com/gisellerahimi/ph0mcj94q88rmlpn/wish/663765893
