CLASSMATE’S POST
The alliance between the US and Soviet Russia during WWII fell apart after WWII. Stalin believed that the opening of a second front in Europe was going to be intentionally delayed the Allies so that Russia might be able to continue to bear the German War. After the death of President Roosevelt in April, and finally the surrender of Germany in May 1945, President Truman met with the Allied leaders in Germany. The containment policy against Soviet Union is also known as the Cold War foreign policy. This policy was a response to a series of moves by the Soviet Union to increase Communist influence. Therefore, I believe that we the Americans were justified in pursuing a containment strategy against the Soviets. If we hadn’t of done this, America might very well be a Communist nation.
