Among other things, they formed the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) which guaranteed that if any of the member nations were attacked, the others would come to their aid.

They formed the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).


Troops were deployed - in fact we still have a military presence in most of the world, especially in Germany.


We flew spy planes over communist countries - remember the U2? That how we also saw the missiles in Cuba, another communist country.


We formed the CIA out of the military OSS.


We had the McCarthy hearing were people were accused of being Communist and many lost there jobs or were "Black Listed".
Reply:the U.S. focused on the policy of containment. They did three things to react to the Iron Curtain. One was the Truman Doctrine which gave 400 million dollars to greece and turkey.


The second was the marshall plan which gave 12 billion dollars to different countries. This was made to give money to countries who fought against communism. The third was NATO which consisted of around twelve countries who agreed that an attack against one was an attack against them all. A little while later the USSR came up with their own version of NATO called the Warsaw Pact.
