Best Answer

Truman was an anti-communist, and was the author of what is known as the Truman Doctrine, which stated that the US must act to prevent any additional countries from becoming communist. This was the basis for the Korean War, the Vietnamese War, and many other smaller conflicts around the world. As a Democrat, he also had some modestly progressive ideas, for example, it was on his order that racial segregation in the US Military was ended. Of course, it was not until the much later administration of Lyndon Johnson that action was taken on a federal level about racial discrimination in society in general. But Truman did take a small step in that direction.
