  Congress. This was the cornerstone of Wilson's
  "Fourteen Points," but the U.S. Senate thought it

  organizations. If it had been successful, it
  might have prevented the rise of dictatorships in
  Europe following WWI.

  sovereignty to wage war or protect the country
  from attack.

  Marshall plan was to provide an incentive for the
  nations of Europe to reject a move to communism
  and allow a stable transition to democratic
  governments. In 1949 the USSR controlled,
  communist government of Eastern Germany blockaded
  access to the democratic, western half of Berlin
  (the city of Berlin was totally contained within
  Eastern Germany). Truman responded by ordering
  the Berlin Airlift, a dropping of food, medicine
  and supplies into the city by plane. These cases
  exemplify the policy of containment toward
  communism.
