The Truman Doctrine committed the United States to a foreign policy of foreign intervention. It authorized political, military and economic support to all countries under threat from internal or external authoritarian forces. This moved the United States from withdrawing from regional conflicts that did not affect this country to possible intervention in far off conflicts.
yes of course its good buddy
Excellent answer. The Marshall Plan, the brainchild of George C. Marshall (who had been head of the Allied Chiefs of Staff during WW II), really had no intended connection to the Truman Doctrine and the policy of "Containment." It did, however, bring the US and USSR into conflict over the rebuilding of Germany and the western sectors of Berlin, and so became entangled in the Containment Policy, which was the invention of George Keenan. By rebuilding Western Europe and seeking to prevent the spread of Communism by all means possible, not only military means, the two policies became for a time two integral parts of Truman's foreign policy. The Marshall Plan, of course, ended when it's purpose was finished, but Containment remained a vital part of US policy until the economic collapse of the Soviet Union. That economic collapse was the very point of Keenan's plan.
of course it did, because the foreign banks were reassured that their loans would be paid, so they invested on the latin American nations
two early doctrines the us followed was manifest destiny manifest destiny was a plan to cover the entire continent of north America (Canada, Mexico and the central American states) of course they didnt take all of Mexico or Canada but succeeded in reaching the pacific ocean another was the monroe doctrine (we wont get involved in European wars/affairs as long as europeans stay out of American business) of course the monroe doctrine was quite hypocritical when America took the philipenese and cuba from Spain.

Korea was a strategic priority: the Soviets were involved. Of course it was a wise decision; Truman succeeded in stopping the Reds. Today the Republic of South Korea is a highly successful member of the global free market; thanks to Truman's courage in meeting the communist threat head on!
Definitely Middlebury College VT although most northeast liberal arts programs are very good.

Truman was the president of the USA during that period that first came up with the idea of the airlift and carried it through. Additionally, he introduced what is known as the "Truman Doctrine" which announced that America would do whatever possible to fight the spread of communism and free people who are resisting communist subjugation. Stalin of course was still in power on the Soviet/Eastern side. Winston Churchill was the prime minister of Great Britain. Hope that helps! :)
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.
After WW 2, US presidents began to believe that sharing power in US foreign policy was a derogation of the Presidency. Beginning with President Truman, the Presidency pursued an independent course in foreign affairs causing the constitutional separation of powers to fade away.Even in the 21st century the executive agreement, such as the Iran-Nuke agreement, placed the Senate in a non-role.
