Two plans emerged during the Truman administration in attempt to stop the spread of Communism. The Truman Doctrine was a request to Congress to assist Greece and Turkey with aid such as food and weapons in their quest to stop Communism in those countries. $400 millions dollars went to Greece and $100 million went to Turkey. As a result, they both joined NATO in 1952. The other plan to come out of that era was the Marshall plan, or the European Recovery Program. Named after the Secretary of State George Marshall, this program was an incentive to all European nations rebuilding after World War II not to turn to Communism. Billions of dollars were spent to redevelop the infrastructures of those European nations. This plan went into effect in 1947 and lasted to 1951.
