Thank you We sneak and here's your smoke du jour

00:05

brought to you by commune is um and underlying belief

00:08

in cooperative living All right all the following were designed

00:12

to stop the spread of communism Except what And here

00:15

the potential answers right cia mark playing with all right

00:19

Well the onset of the cold war had a pretty

00:21

chilling effect on american diplomacy and lawmakers went to whatever

00:25

lengths they could to cauterize the spread of communism was

00:30

a the cia designed to stop communism in its tracks

00:34

Well the cia emerged from the remains of the office

00:37

of strategic services which oversaw the super secret agents fighting

00:41

against axis powers during world war two Once the war

00:44

ended though lawmakers wanted to continue keeping tabs on enemies

00:47

abroad And is communism gain favor among nations across the

00:51

world the cia was invisibly in the middle of the

00:55

action How about b the marshall plan Well after world

00:58

war two many european nations were completely bombed by nearly

01:01

a decade of armed conflict Rather than see the soviet

01:04

union step in to help the united states implemented the

01:07

marshall plan which pumped cash into european economies in an

01:10

effort to protect them from communist takeovers that puts be

01:13

01:16

crusade against the soviet red tide nato with stands for

01:20

01:25

to provide mutual defence against the soviet union In retaliation

01:30

the soviet union created the warsaw pact for countries drafted

01:34

01:40

in his self named doctrine of the united states would

01:43

do everything in its power to contain the spread of

01:46

communism That's what containment was all about Two big pieces

01:50

of the truman doctrine where the marshall plan which helped

01:53

with economic containment and nato which helped with military containment

01:57

that means see the roosevelt corollary was not designed to

02:01

stop the spread of communism The roosevelt corollary was teddy

02:04

roosevelt's addition to the monroe doctrine which sought to prevent

02:07

european interference in latin america during the early eighteen hundreds

02:11

A roosevelt corollary though added that the us would use

02:14

military power to keep european countries out of their western

02:18

hemispherical turf So c is the correct answer The roosevelt

02:21

Corollary certainly functioned is a big diplomatic stick But we're

02:25

not sure why teddy had to whisper to get his 00:02:28.315 --> [endTime] point across
