Sem2.HW2

"Were the Methods the US used to Contain the spread of Communism justified?"

- One of the method that is considered not to be justified is the action of spying upon the Soviet Union. The action of sending spys to another country is against the faith between two countries. Moreover; it intensified the Cold War.

-A justified action of the US is the unification of West Germany. The action did not go against the rules shared by the Soviet and the US, and US did not try to unify lands controlled by the Soviet Union. The method could also warn the Soviet Union that the US have not yet given up.

-The appaering of North Atlantic Treaty Organization(1949) is a justified method. The Soviet Union was trying to expand it's power and had taken control of Czechoslovakia. Threatened by the Soviet, it is reasonable for US to form NATO in order to fight against the Soviet Union.
