Yes, that is correct. The "containment policy" and the "Truman Doctrine" are often referred to interchangeably.
The Truman Doctrine states the United States will provide military, political and economic assistance to all democratic nations under threat from authoritarian forces. Prior to the Truman Doctrine the United States' foreign policy had called for the withdrawal from regional conflicts not directly related to the US. This opened the way to possible intervention.
The Truman Doctrine was meant to help any non-communist country to resist communist pressure by providing economic and military aid. It was announced by US President Truman during the Greek Civil War; the United States sent $400 million in economic aid to Greece to help the government defeat the communist forces attempting to overthrow them. It also was the basis for the support during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. This shifted the American policy towards communism from détente, or the easing of strained tensions, to containment. It also is often used to mark the beginning of the Cold War. The major recipients of the aid were Greece and Turkey, and later South Korea and Vietnam.
The Truman Doctrine was a governmental policy to stop the spread of communism in Europe and around the world with military and economic aid. The doctrine received bipartisan support and led to United States intervention in the Greek Civil War, Korea, and Vietnam.
U.S Policy to contain communism (APEX)
Truman was hard-nosed when it came to the Soviet Union. He had never liked, nor trusted, Stalin, and he did not believe that Communism was anything other than dictatorship. When he became President, he let the Soviet leaders know that he would not put up with Soviet attempted expansion into Europe or Asia, following the war. By 1947, Truman had developed a policy that was more than just "getting tough" with the Russians. The "Truman Doctrine" proclaimed that the United States would not tolerate Russian expansion into any areas that were not already under Soviet control. This became known as the Containment Policy. Truman put his policy to the test in 1947 when the Soviets stepped up their support for the Communists in Greece, Italy, and France. In March of 1947, Truman asked Congress to appropriate $400 million in military assistance to the pro-Western governments in Greece and Turkey. It soon became evident to the Soviets, that Truman and the U.S. would not sit by while they tried to expand their system of take over in areas of Europe and Asia. The Truman Doctrine and Containment continued in the administrations of Eisenhower and Kennedy.
