It sought to contain the spread of communism.

The important of the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan lie in the fact that we effectively helped contain communism. Both plans were an attempt to keep generally unstable and persuadable countries from turning to communism. If these border countries in Europe were stable they wouldn't have to turn to communist Russia for assistance. They were made from the idea of containment.
