During the Cold War, the primary foreign policy agenda was centered on containing the spread of communism, primarily led by the Soviet Union. The U.S. and its allies implemented strategies such as the Truman Doctrine, which provided military and economic support to nations resisting communist influence, and the Marshall Plan, aimed at rebuilding war-torn Europe to prevent communist expansion. Additionally, military alliances like NATO were formed to counter Soviet power, while various conflicts around the globe, including the Korean and Vietnam Wars, were influenced by the ideological struggle between capitalism and communism.
