George Kennan, a top official at the U.S. embassy in Moscow, defined the new approach in the Long Telegram he sent to the State Department in 1946 . He extended his analysis in an article under the signature \"X\" in the prestigious journal Foreign Affairs. Pointing to Russia's traditional sense of insecurity, Kennan argued that the Soviet Union would not soften its stance under any circumstances. Moscow, he wrote, was\"committed fanatically to the belief that with the United States there can be no permanent modus vivendi, that it is desirable and necessary that the internal harmony of our society be disrupted.\"Moscow's pressure to expand its power had to be stopped through \"firm and vigilant containment of Russian expansive tendencies   \"  \n1. Who defined the U.S. policy of containment?  \n____________________________________________  \n____________________________________________  \nThe first significant application of the containment doctrine came in the Middle East and eastern Mediterranean. In early 1946, the United States  \ndemanded, and obtained, a full Soviet withdrawal from Iran, the northern half of which it had occupied during the war. That summer, the United States pointedly supported Turkey against Soviet demands for control of the Turkish straits between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. In early 1947, American policy crystallized when Britain told the United States that it could no longer afford to support the government of Greece against a strong Communist insurgency.  \n2.

After an emotional debate that resembled the one between interventionists and isolationists before World War II, the money was appropriated.  \n3. \"I believe that it must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures.\"This is known as the    \na. containment policy  \nb. Domino Theory  \nc. Truman Doctrine  \nd. Zimmermann telegram  \nCritics from the left later charged that to whip up American support for the policy of containment, Truman overstated the Soviet threat to the United States. In turn, his statements inspired a wave of hysterical anti-Communism throughout the country. Perhaps so. Others, however, would counter that this argument ignores the backlash that likely would have occurred if Greece, Turkey, and other countries had fallen within the Soviet orbit with no opposition from the United States.  \nContainment also called for extensive economic aid to assist the recovery of war-torn Western Europe.  \nWith many of the region's nations economically and politically unstable, the United States feared that local Communist parties, directed by Moscow, would capitalize on their wartime record of resistance to the Nazis and come to power. \"The patient is sinking while the doctors deliberate,\" declared Secretary of State George C. Marshall. In mid-1947 Marshall asked troubled European nations to draw up a program \"directed not against any country or doctrine but against hunger, poverty, desperation, and chaos.\"  \n4.
