The Allied Powers divided Germany, particularly Berlin, into East and West with Berlin divided into three districts occupied by England, the United States and the Soviet Union. It quickly became clear to the West that the Soviet Union was not satisfied with simply taking their spoils. In addition to this, the United States President during that time Harry S. Truman, felt it was necessary for the US to have a policy concerning the Soviet Union’s appeared designs on Empire. From the Soviet threat came the American policy of Containment. The policy of Containment was a foreign policy strategy created by the US after WWII founding its first key purpose in the Truman Doctrine of 1947. It's also a strategy plan that the U.S. used in the Cold War to prevent communism country, the Soviet Union from spreading Communism by providing either military support, economic and/or technical assistance to noncommunist countries. for instance one of the ways to accomplish this was by establishing NATO so that the western European countries had a defense against communists. Its purpose by so doing was to contain the domino effect of the growing influence and power of the Soviet Union over other noncommunist country's political system
