Communism was one of the main forms of government that ruled Europe and other countries after World War II. Communism is an economic system in which all means of production like land, mines, factories, railroads, and businesses are owned by the people, private property does not exist, and all goods are services are shared equally. As the Soviet Union slowly grew and became stronger with the power of communism, the United States tired to put an end to this strong power. President Henry S Truman foreign a policy called the containment. Containment was a policy that directly was to block the Soviets influence and stopping the expansion of communism. Also, this policy helped form alliances and helped out the weak countries from the influence of communism.

President Truman also passed other policy in the help to decreases the power of communism. Truman Doctrine was a dogma that was in support of the countries that rejected communism. The Marshall Plan was to help support countries that need help to restart their economy. Many countries were in ruins after World War II, whic

h this plan helped with the scarcity of jobs and food. The Marshall Plan also helped provide food, machinery, and other materials to rebuild the Western Europe.

Just like how communism once was power in the world, terrorism is slowly becoming that power today in our present world. Little do we know it, but we are slowly repeating history. The United States today is slowly trying to stop the influence of terrorism around the world. Terrorism is the use of force or threats to frighten people or governments to change their policies. This group has slowly became strong in the past years. The United States saw this power rise when 9-11 hit. The United States saw this as a call to help decrease the publish of terrorism.

Today, as the Untied States is one of the most powerful cournty in the world, they are helping out once again bring down a group of people who are trying to not only become a main power but became strong with supporters. The history is being repeated as The United Sta

tes is helping bring down terrorism, just like they did with communism. As long as terrorism slowly decrease, then we could see a change in the world today.

After looking at how history is repeating itself, the thought that something like terrorism or communism could come up again is a little scary. But the world can deal with the change and help decrease the power by helping support the countrys who do not commit to their ways.
