Question: Were the methods the US used to contain the spread of Communism justified?
The US refusal to help Hungary was unjustified. Hungary tried to go against the Soviet because the US was encouraging countries to stand up. The Hungarians thought the US and felt tricked when the US didn't come help them. It caused many Hungarians to be caught and killed by the Soviets.
The Berlin Blockade was justified. The Soviets tried to prevent the Allies from getting into Berlin. Railroads and highways were blocked, but the US used planes to carry all of the supplies to Berlin instead. It lasted for ten and a half months until the Soviets stopped the blockade.
