Kennan’s Containment (Packet)
Front page of your packet… Read through… Then answer the questions following
the passage…
![Page 9: The Cold War: Conflicts between East and West](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051700/5681631d550346895dd396dd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Kennan’s Containment 1.) Kennan states that the Russian politicians want to maintain
their 'prestige.' How would this concept of prestige instigate the Cold War, rather than ending it?
2.) The first line of the second paragraphs predicts that the United States has to face the Soviet Union at "constantly shifting geographical and political points" in order to contain the spread of Communism. Does this scenario come true, and, if so, how?
3.) What does Kennan mean by the second paragraph? How does this relate to what we know of the events of the Cold War?
4.) Why is it important for the United States to appear "know what it wants," all while dealing with internal problems?

Marshall Plan June 1947
› European Recovery Program (Marshall Plan)
Provides 13 Billion dollars to All of Europe› “…against hunger, poverty, desperation,
and chaos.”› USSR does not participate in this, despite
the option to… Why…

Soviet POV of Marshall Plan Capitalist Imperialism
› Gaining influence of weaker countries, through monetary bribes (favors)
Any truths?› American firms were making the products
sent to Europe…› US popular opinion: Communist advances
fed off economic turmoil

Soviet Reactions? Russia could not compete with the
financial strength of US… Therefore, it could only do one thing:
Tighten its control over eastern Europe…
