Truman inherited it. Communism existed well before WW2, and well before Truman became president. FDR and his vice president (Truman) knew they might have to fight the Communists sooner or later. As it turned out, Truman ended up fighting the Communists 5 years after FDR's death (President Roosevelt died in May 1945).
Truman STARTED his policy of containment because George Keenan (our diplomat in Moscow) sent him a message outling the way that the U.S. would be able to contain communism in the Soviet Union. The policy of containment was based off this first outline and it was initiated because we believed that if not stopped communism would take over the world slowly but surely, look at our belief of the Domino Effect in communism.
US President Harry S. Truman faced a powerful USSR in his term of office. He saw that to contain communism, he's have to use the UN's declaration against North Korea to send US troops to contain the growth of communism.
Stop the spread of communism (make sure it stays where it is, and let's reduce it if possible)
