Warfare creates unrest among those at odds with each other before, during, and after conflict. After World War II, a man by the name George Kennan promoted containment. This policy was direct toward the Soviet Union. Kennan was a diplomat who was extremely knowledgeable on Soviet interactions. Containment had to do with fearing Soviets would spread communist ideals. By continually pressing closer to where Soviets controlled Germany, democratic nations were able to monitor the influence of the Soviet presence in the area. Due to the extremely fragile condition of Germany and complicated relations within the country without external infiltration encouraging unrest. Policy of containment was necessary because of a continuous resistance by Soviet forces against democratic countries into East Germany. Containment was enforced for Germans because of the Soviets. The wall erected by Soviets is one example of how adamant they were about allowing other overseer countries to participate in the affairs of East German residents. Without containment, the stronghold Soviets obtained would have likely spread, and the ideals of democracy challenged. Everything that would have previously been fought for would have been lost. Containment was a way for communism to stay restricted and not be afflicted upon others. -866
