containment
World History
U.S. History
(noun)
A United States policy using numerous strategies to prevent the spread of communism abroad.
Examples of containment in the following topics:
-
The Cold War and Containment
- Truman's Containment policy was the first major policy during the Cold War and used numerous strategies to prevent the spread of communism abroad.
- Containment was a United States policy using numerous strategies to prevent the spread of communism abroad.
- President Lyndon Johnson (1963–69) cited containment as a justification for his policies in Vietnam.
- Kennan was the diplomat behind the doctrine of containment.
- Discuss the doctrine of Containment and its role during the Cold War
-
Containment in Vietnam
- The Vietnam War was fought on the principle that the spread of communism needed to be contained.
- For instance, Senator Barry Goldwater , the Republican candidate for president in 1964, challenged containment and asked, "Why not victory?
- Nixon, who replaced Johnson in 1969, moved away from containment to his foreign policy of détente, or a relaxation of tension.
- Nixon reduced U.S. military presence in Vietnam to the minimum required to contain communist advances, a policy called Vietnamization.
- Distinguish between Goldwater's stance on victory, Johnson's adherence to containment, and Nixon's move toward détente as foreign policies in Vietnam.
-
Volume
- Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space contained by a closed boundary; it is the space that a substance (solid, liquid, gas or plasma) or shape occupies or contains.
- The volume of a container is generally understood as the capacity of the container, meaning the amount of fluid (gas or liquid) the container can hold, rather than the amount of space the container itself displaces.
- Since liquid will always cover the cross section (if there is enough liquid), adding more liquid will increase the height inside the container.
- Liquids take the shape of their container, filling up the minimum height needed.
- Thus a measuring cup can accurately measure the volume of a liquid, whereas a gas will always fill the entire container, more or less uniformly, no matter how little gas there is.
-
Salts that Produce Acidic Solutions
- An example of an acid salt is one containing any of these cations with a neutral base, such as ammonium chloride (NH4Cl).
- Acid salts can also contain an acidic proton in the anion.
- Each of these anions contains a proton that will weakly dissociate in water.
- Therefore, salts containing these anions—such as potassium bisulfate—will yield weakly acidic solutions in water.
- From the previous concept, we know that salts containing the bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) are basic, whereas salts containing bisulfate ion (HSO4-) are acidic.
-
Containment
- Containment was the Cold War policy of preventing the spread of Soviet communism (while not confronting it where it already existed).
- Containment was a U.S. policy that used numerous strategies to prevent the spread of communism abroad.
- The word containment is associated most strongly with the policies of U.S.
- President Lyndon Johnson (1963–69) cited containment as a justification for his policies in Vietnam.
- Summarize the U.S. policy of containment, citing specific examples of its application
-
Containment to Rollback
- Rollback is the rival doctrine to containment, the policy of merely stemming the expansion of communism .
- Instead, the US pursued containment in Eastern Europe.
- Containment is associated most strongly with the policies of U.S.
- Douglas MacArthur, moved the United States toward a stronger commitment to the containment policy.
- US policies sought to either contain the Soviet communist influence, or "roll" it back.
-
Containment in Foreign Policy
- Containment was a United States policy using numerous strategies to prevent the spread of communism abroad.
- Containment was a United States policy using numerous strategies to prevent the spread of communism abroad.
- Containment is associated most strongly with the policies of U.S.
- Johnson adhered closely to containment during the Vietnam War.
- George Kennan's foreign policy analysis is examined and the pillars of containment are discussed.

Avogadro's Law: Volume and Amount
- Avogadro's Law states that at the same temperature and pressure, equal volumes of different gases contain an equal number of particles.
- For example, 1.00 L of N2 gas and 1.00 L of Cl2 gas contain the same number of molecules at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP).
- As an example, equal volumes of molecular hydrogen and nitrogen contain the same number of molecules and observe ideal gas behavior when they are at the same temperature and pressure.
- The model contains gas molecules under constant pressure.
- (Note: Although the atoms in this model are in a flat plane, volume is calculated using 0.1 nm as the depth of the container.)
-
Body Cavities
- Vertebrates have fluid-filled spaces called body cavities that contain the organs.
- They usually contains protective membranes and sometimes bones that protect the organs.
- This cavity contains the brain, the meninges of the brain, and cerebrospinal fluid.
- The ventral cavity, the interior space in the front of the body, contains many different organ systems.
- The pelvic cavity is contained within the pelvis and houses the bladder and reproductive system.
-
QUANTITY
- a) if it contains a long vowel; as, māter, rēgnum, dīus.
- c) if it contains a short vowel followed by x, z, or any two consonants (except a mute with l or r); as, axis, gaza, restō.
- A syllable is short, if it contains a short vowel followed by a vowel or by a single consonant; as, mea, amat.
- Thus, a syllable containing a short vowel followed by two consonants, as ng, is long, because such a syllable requires more time for its pronunciation; while a syllable containing a short vowel followed by one consonant is short, because it takes less time to pronounce it.
