Which phrase describes a goal of u. s foreign policy after world war 2

A goal of U.S. foreign policy after World War 2 was containing the spread of Communism.

Explanation:

At the end of World War II, the Allied victory marked the end of Nazism and Fascism, but it gave rise to a new global threat: Communism, an authoritarian and anti-democratic political system raised by the Soviet Union and its allies in Eastern Europe. This is how the Cold War began.

Communism was a political and economic system that sought the eradication of private property and democracy, through one-party governments with absolute control over the economic production of the nation.

Faced with this new threat, and without the interest of relapsing into a new global war, the United States carried out a series of containment policies, originally intended not to eradicate communism, but to prevent its expansion. Thus, policies such as financing and military advice to democratic governments, participation in indirect wars or even special intelligence operations in foreign governments took place. Always without directly attacking the Soviet Union, as this would have triggered a nuclear conflict of catastrophic proportions.
