Explanation:

The policy of containment was introduced by President Harry S. Truman who served as the President of the United States after World War II. He served from 1945 to 1953. The idea of containment was among his international policies geared at preventing the spread of communism but not trying to seize the territories already occupied by communist countries. Communism is an economy in which resources have common ownership and in which citizens are denied ownership of private properties. Resources are shared according to the perceived needs of individuals. This policy is in opposition to capitalism and other liberal ideologies.

Countries that had the tendencies to relapse into communism were discouraged from doing that and were also given the support they needed to prevent such.
