b. formation of the Vietcong in Vietnam
c. surrender of Japan to end World War II
d. communist takeover of mainland China

Answer 1

It was primarily the "b. formation of the Vietcong in Vietnam" that led the Truman administration to expand the containment doctrine to include Asia, since this was seen as a threat to democratic principles in the west as well.

Answer 2

The event that led the Truman administration's expansion of the containment doctrine to Asia was because of the formation of the Vietcong in Vietnam.

What is the containment doctrine?

This is a foreign policy that follows the rule that the communist governments will eventually fall apart as long as they are prevented from expanding their influence.

However, the formation of the Vietcong in Vietnam led to the Truman administration's expansion of the containment doctrine to Asia.

Therefore, the Option B is correct.
