Was it “remarkably consistent?” Did it produce a stable and orderly world?

After World War II, the U.S. Soviet alliance was no longer necessary and the U.S. therefor cast it aside and went back to giving communism the cold shoulder. The U.S. never really agreed with the Soviets on anything except that they must stop fascism, so of course once fascism was stopped and all common ground was lost, the two long term foes went back to their showdown. With facist Germany out of the way, the Soviets turned back to their quest for land expansion which pushes the U.S. into the corner that they needed to have a reason to act. This action took many forms ranging from Social Policy to full combat in war.

The first sign we see of conflict and tension arising after WWII is an issue involving the atomic bomb. The U.S. flaunted this technology to Stalin during the war and Stalin of course, passed it

The Marshal plan was a huge success in it's effort to rebuild Europe's economy. It opened up trade and investment opportunities for the U.S. as well as stabilizing Europe's fledging economy. The western powers realized that in order to revitalize Europe under the Marshall plan, they would first have to rebuild Germany which was still subdivided for occupation from Yalta. The first effort to united the divisions of Germany was to initiate a common currency initiative. As a result of effort to united Germany, the soviets decided that if Germany were to be united it would be weak, so they started a blockade of Berlin. That didn't work to well because the airways remained open and supplies continued to poor in from the skies.

The first program implemented for containment was an employee loyalty program which was aimed at finding potential security risks that were in high government positions.

If a person was found to be a risk they of course were stripped of the position and authority. This program actually raised suspicion and formed conspiracies about just how deep communism had rooted itself within the top levels of government. It turns out that some of these conspiracies were true but that really didn't effect the U.S. effort of containment seeing as how most of these truths were not dug up until after the fall of the Soviet Union.

A big initiative of containment happened in 1947. The National Security Act established many new defense departments and branches. It created the CIA ( central intelligence agency ) to support national security through the gathering of information and covert operations. It established the Air Force as a branch of the military equal to that of the Army and the Navy. It brought forth a new executive branch called the National Security Council which was given authority over the creation of new foreign policy.
