After world war ii, american policymaker george kennan came up with the idea of containment, which stressed stopping the further spread of communism using financial and military means. the korean war was an example of the use of military force to contain communism. the marshall plan was an example of using financial resources to stop the spread of communism. in your opinion, which method was more effective in containment? why

Military:

Financial aid would not have stopped the military invasion of South Korea. South Korea is a democracy today because of our military intervention.

Financial:

Communism can take root only in societies that are unstable. The Marshall Plan stabilized many countries, making a radical ideology, such as communism, unattractive to the people of those countries.

The Marshall Plan protected more countries than military intervention could.

the committees of correspondence were the american colonies’ means for maintaining communication lines in the years before the revolutionary war. in 1764, boston formed the earliest committee of correspondence to encourage opposition to britain’s stiffening of customs enforcement and prohibition of american paper money. the following year, new york formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the stamp act. in 1773, the virginia house of burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a committee for intercolonial correspondence. the exchanges that followed built solidarity during the turbulent times and bring about the formation of the first continental congress in 1774.
