Yes, that is correct. The "containment policy" and the "Truman Doctrine" are often referred to interchangeably.
The Truman Doctrine, established in 1947, was a policy aimed at containing the spread of communism by providing political, military, and economic assistance to countries resisting Soviet influence. It marked a commitment by the United States to support free peoples, particularly in Greece and Turkey, who were threatened by communist insurgencies. By framing the struggle against communism as a global responsibility, the Truman Doctrine laid the foundation for U.S. foreign policy during the Cold War, reinforcing the strategy of containment that sought to limit the expansion of Soviet power.
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.
The first test of containment occurred in Greece and Turkey in the late 1940s. The United States, under the Truman Doctrine, provided military and economic assistance to these countries to prevent them from falling under Soviet influence. This marked the beginning of a broader strategy aimed at curbing the spread of communism during the Cold War.
