America Reacts To Communist Takeover
{"Image DocumentName": "America Reacts To Communist Takeover", "Image ImageDescription": "The American public was stunned that China had become communist as they viewed Truman\u2019s policy of containment as a failure. The state department replied to this by saying that what had happened in China was a result of internal forces and that the United States only failed in its attempts to influence those forces, such is Kai-shek\u2019s inability to retain the support of his own people. Furthermore any attempt to do more would have only led to war in Asia, a war that United States was not prepared to fight. Fears of communism within in the American government would begin to surface and like wildfire these fears would begin to burn out of control, and the flames were fanned even further by the events in Korea the following year.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
