Explanation:

After World War II, the Soviet Union was concerned about potential threats from capitalist countries. It aimed to create a buffer zone by having communist - friendly governments in Eastern Europe. This was to reduce the influence of Western (especially US) ideologies and political - economic systems. The US, on the other hand, was more focused on a global containment strategy through alliances like NATO, promoting capitalism and democracy in a more outward - looking (in terms of spreading influence) way.

reduce foreign influence.
