Detailed explanation-1: -This was the first hot war of the Cold War, and in it the United States demonstrated its continued commitment to containment (the idea that the US would ultimately defeat communism by containing its spread).
Detailed explanation-2: -The “containment policy” was the U.S. approach to containing, or preventing, the spread of Communism after World War II. The idea was to make other countries prosperous enough to avoid the temptation of communism.
Detailed explanation-3: -The U.S. adopted the Policy of Containment because communism seemed to be on the rise around the world in the late 1940s. The U.S. wanted to stop communism’s expansion without fighting an all out war with the Soviet Union and China.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Korean War was the first time that communism and capitalism were to fight against each other. It was hence a turning point in the development of the Cold War-instead of tensions developing between the two countries directly, the conflicts are now manifested through a proxy, which is Korea.
