Explicación
## Step 1The problem is asking us to identify the correct term that describes the United States' policy of wanting to keep communism where it is but not eliminate it. The options provided are Marshall Plan, deterrence, containment, and Truman Doctrine.## Step 2The Marshall Plan was an economic program initiated by the United States to aid Western Europe after World War II. It was not specifically aimed at containing communism.## Step 3Deterrence is a military strategy aimed at preventing an enemy from initiating an attack by maintaining a credible threat of retaliation. It does not directly relate to the containment of communism.## Step 4Containment was a United States policy using numerous strategies to prevent the spread of communism abroad. This policy was a response to a series of moves by the Soviet Union to enlarge its communist sphere of influence in Eastern Europe, China, Korea, and Vietnam. It was a response to a report by George Kennan in 1947 that the Soviet Union was inherently expansionist but also warned that it was highly sensitive to military power. The policy was a response to the Truman Doctrine, which was a policy to support Greece and Turkey with economic and military aid to resist communism.## Step 5The Truman Doctrine was a policy to support Greece and Turkey with economic and military aid to resist communism. It was not specifically aimed at containing communism.
