Best Answer

The policy proposed to limit the expansion of Soviet influence was referred to as containment without confrontation. The US would support anti-Communist regimes while avoiding direct conflict with the Soviets.

This was not entirely successful, and the largest failure of the policy was the Korean War of 1950-1953.
