This is an easy essay to write: pick three of the following items and read the Wikipedia articles considering the goals of America and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and ask yourself, "Who won? US or USSR?" and this gives you the answer to the success/failure of containment for that particular example. Turn your three examples into your three body paras and make sure to discuss the success or failure of the Containment Policy throughout your essay.
