O isolationism

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ A permanent military buildup to fight communism ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ NSC-68 and the Cold War ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ NSC-68 was a top-secret policy paper by the United States National Security Council presented to President Harry S. Truman in 1950. It was one of the most significant statements of American policy during the Cold War. NSC-68 called for a large expansion of the U.S. military budget, the development of a strong peacetime military, and the containment of Soviet communism through military and non-military means. It marked a major step in the militarization of American foreign policy and reflected the sense of almost limitless emergency that characterized the early years of the Cold War. The document did not call for more spending on scientific research as its primary goal, enforcement of the Marshall Plan (which was already in place), elimination of military arsenals, or isolationism. Instead, it emphasized the need for a substantial military buildup to counter the perceived Soviet threat. ⚹◊What role did NSC-68 play in shaping the United States' foreign policy during the Cold War era⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
