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

the soviet union created the warsaw pact for countries drafted

01:50

of the truman doctrine where the marshall plan which helped

01:53

with economic containment and nato which helped with military containment

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
