it was the U.S. trying to stop the spread of communism. pesidents such as Truman used this as a foreign policy. Truman created the Truman Doctrine which orignated when Greece and Hungary were being supressed by Communism. They requested help and Truman said that the U.S. would provide money for anyone trying to stop communism.\n\nNATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) was also created to stop the spread of communism. it was basically a pact between european and american countries that they would help eachother resist communism and an attack on one was an attack on all.\n\nVietnamn: we went to vietnamn to stop communism from spreading to south vietnamn. but we sucked and basically failed because saigon fell to communism after we left.\n\nthe cuban missile crisis: JFK learned that the soviets were putting missiles and bases in Cuba. HE spent 13 days negotioating with the soviet union and eventually got them to stay out of cuba if we removed our missiles from turkey and promised to stay out of cuba.\n\ni can't think of anymore right now but theres a lot.\n\nthe marshall plan was also created after world war two to keep communism out of the weak european countries.

I think they tried this in Russia, Germany etc. So we have a lot of examples of this idea it lasted a very short time with maybe the exception of Rome.

The Truman Doctrine was part of the United States' political response to perceived aggression by the Soviet Union in Europe and the Middle East, illustrated through the communist movements in Iran, Turkey and Greece. As a result, American foreign policy towards the USSR shifted, as George F. Kennan phrased it, to that of containment. Many believe the Truman Doctrine to be the first in a succession of containment moves by the United States, followed by economic containment (The Marshall Plan) and military containment (the creation of NATO.) Under the Truman Doctrine, the United States was prepared to send any money, equipment, or military force to countries that were threatened by the communist government, thereby offering assistance to those countries resisting communism. In U.S. President Harry S Truman's words, it became "the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures."\n\nPresident Truman made the proclamation in an address to the U.S. Congress on March 12, 1947 amid the crisis of the Greek Civil War (1946-1949). Truman insisted that if Greece and Turkey did not receive the aid that they needed, they would inevitably fall to communism with consequences throughout the region.\n\nTruman signed the act into law on May 22, 1947 which granted $400 million in military and economic aid to Turkey and Greece. It should be noted however that this American aid was in many ways a replacement for British aid which the British were no longer financially in a position to give. The policy of containment and opposition to communists in Greece for example was carried out by the British before 1947 in many of the same ways it was carried out afterward by the Americans.\n\nThe doctrine also had consequences elsewhere in Europe. Governments in Western Europe with powerful communist movements such as Italy and France were given a variety of assistance and encouraged to keep communist groups out of governments. In some respects, these moves were in response to moves by the Soviet Union to purge opposition groups in Eastern Europe out of existence.\n\nIn 1950, Truman signed NSC-68 which shifted foreign policy from passive to active containment. The document largely inspired by George F. Kennan explicitly stated that the Communists planned for world domination.\n\nThe Truman Doctrine also contributed to America's first involvements in the Vietnam War. Starting shortly after the outbreak of the Korean war, Truman attempted to aid France's bid to hold onto its Vietnamese colonies. The United States supplied French forces with equipment and military advisors in order to combat Ho Chi Minh and anti-colonial communist revolutionaries. The US propped up the French not out of a belief that they could hold on in Vietnam, but out of a hope that a government not under the control of Ho Chi Minh could come to power.

Our policies in the 1890's were The Monroe Doctrine, a policy of restricting European influence in the Americas, and The Open Door Policy in China, a statement that we intended to keep China open economically to all possible trading partners.  Arguably, our involvement in WWI was consistent with the Monroe Doctrine in that it sought to prevent The Triple Entente from practicing similar interventions elsewhere in the world and, in the hearts and minds of Americans of the time, sought to prevent Germany from emerging as some unmanageable super-power.

This smells like a research paper you should be doing your own research for.  I'll just say the foreign policy of the 1950's was totally dominated by worldwide struggle with the USSR for allies and hegemony.  Everything else was secondary.  On top of the perpetual war footing and a major shooting war in Korea there was the threat of nuclear holocaust.  And the American imagination has latched onto the idea that this decade was innocent and carefree, a Golden Age that makes our own times dark and frightening in comparison.  This grotesque glorification of the past plays right into the hands of the current regime, which manipulates fear to stay in power and strip away our constitutional rights.

Marshall Plan was a catalyst that stimulated many countries in the Soviet Unions influence to "go west" and choose democracy and capitalism instead of east and accept communism. It showed the economic advantages of it through the aid they received, and worked flawlessly to show up Stalin, and communism, who chose to build a wall instead of trying to improve the part of Germany in their influence, or any other nation. Germany's loans to pay off its war reparations, and by other nations for reconstruction, from US soon became part of the whole foreign policy and American influence ordeal. As now they had ties with US, that allowed it to exert more control over these foreign entities.

The US had a presence there since 1950's, even before that if you count the OSS operatives during WWII. Our involvement was to stem the tide of Communism, and also to step in to fill the gap after the French were leaving to comply with the Geneva Accord of 1954. \n     In the context of the times, fighting Communism was a more important and justifiable pretext than oil. \n    It seems apparent that actual motives changed and got muddied as the scope of involvement became lengthy. \n    In the end, US objectives are actually beginning to be realized, and that area of the world moves to more of a self determined free-market based economy. It is a shame that there had to be so much suffering of the general population AFTER US withdrawal to see this come about. \n     I have read memoirs and interviews from former Viet Cong of how they were immediately disenfranchised when the South was overrun, (and they were on the same side as the North, and did much of the dying at the hands of the US!), so one can imagine how bad it must have been for the remainder of the population.
