b) The ultimate goal of containment, according to George Kennan, was the collapse of the Soviet Union.

d) The United States did not want the Soviet Union to increase its influence over other countries.

Answer 1

b) The ultimate goal of containment, according to George Kennan, was the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Step-by-step explanation:

Containment policy in the United States involves various methods and procedures to prohibit the spread of communism by the Soviet Union across the globe. Communism is a typical system of governance where all the property are owned by the community

Hence, the false statement regarding the adoption of containment policy by the United States during the Cold War is "The ultimate goal of containment, according to George Kennan, was the collapse of the Soviet Union." This is because according to George Kennan, the ultimate goal of containment is to PREVENT the spread of Communism across the globe and not the collapse of the Soviet Union
