The United States engaged in a Cold War with the Soviet Union.

Reason: To counter the spread of communism shown on the map, the U.S. pursued containment—Truman Doctrine, Marshall Plan, NATO and various proxy conflicts—rather than encouraging communism or passing the post‑9/11 Patriot Act. The U.S. also allied primarily with Western (not Eastern) European nations.
