Communism is an ideology where all property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their abilities and needs. It began developing in Russia in the late 19th century due to harsh economic inequalities under tsarist rule. The Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 established the world's first communist state in Russia. The USSR then sought to spread communist influence through Eastern Europe, China, Korea, and Vietnam during the Cold War, prompting the US policy of containment to prevent further expansion.
