After World War II, the U.S. aimed to contain communism, especially in oil-rich Arab nations, to safeguard its interests and prevent the spread of Soviet influence. This led to the establishment of NATO to promote collective security among Western nations. The U.S. also sought to protect economic investments and democracy in Latin America and implemented the Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe. The division of Korea following the Korean War, the concept of deterrence, the impact of Sputnik on American society, and the roles of women in post-war jobs illustrate the era's complexities.
