President Truman believed the US needed more than a "get tough on the Russians" policy following the war. Russia's history was one of expansion as much as possible and the Soviet Union was following that same idea. Because of the desire of the Soviets to expand westward, and the fact that Stalin had a pathological mistrust of the US, it would be impossible to come to a peaceful settlement with the Soviets. Thus, the policy of containment, developed by George F. Kennan of the State Department, was adopted by the Truman administration. The policy would allow communism where it already existed, but would use all force necessary to prevent any further expansion. In other words, communism would be "contained" where it presently existed.

What was the doctrine of terra nullius?
Terra Nullius means "land that belongs to no-one". This doctrine applied to Australia in 1788 when the British did not recognise that the indigenous people of Australia were the rightful "owners" of the land. Because the Aborigines were seen as little more than black savages, the British considered that Australia belonged to no-one and that it was within their right to claim the land as their own, and to do with it (and its people) whatever they wished. The British sought to expand their empire, and so they applied the doctrine of 'terra nullius' to Australia as that gave them the right to claim and occupy the continent.
