The full question is:

What is true about The Truman Doctrine

A It amounted to an informal declaration of Cold War

B It ended the policy of containment

C It created the North Atlantic Treaty Organization

D It established the Marshall Plan

At the time, Stalin was the head of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union and Russian troops occupied much of eastern Europe - including Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania. President Truman found this troubling, since weaker nearby countries could also be overrun. Truman learned of the US having the nuclear bomb, and hinted to Stalin that the US had a new powerful weapon. But Stalin already knew from Russian spies in the US. Deputy ambassador, George Kennan, in Moscow write a long telegram to Truman outlining Russia's threat to the world. In response, Truman stated, "I believe that it must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or outside pressures. I believe that we must assist free peoples to work out their own destinies in their own way." (alphahistory.com/coldwar/truman-doctrine/) This became the Truman Doctrine and set a Cold War with the Russians.
