Answer 2

To help spread democracy and liberty around the world

Step-by-step explanation:

After World War II, the United States and the USSR became enemies - politically and economically. Thus, they began to spread their influence zone and to prevent that each one didn't increase their power. In this quotation, it's clear that the United States won't let the USSR spread its influence over the territories of Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. So, America will do whatever it takes to prevent this, and support democracy. The Cold War was a battle for influence zones.
