Answer:

There were many revolts, the economy went downhill, and the industrialization of Eastern Europe harmed the environment, all of these factors caused backlash from people living in communist nations, as well as those outside, sending troops and supplies to support rebel groups. America's foreign policy changed as it geared itself towards stopping the spread of communism to Asia, as well as helping nations affected by communist rule.
