Greece and Turkey were threatened by Soviet aggression in the late 1940s due to the expansionist policies of the Soviet Union, which sought to spread communism in Europe and gain strategic footholds in the Mediterranean. The Greek Civil War (1946-1949) saw communist insurgents, supported by the Soviet Union, fighting against the Greek government, raising fears of a Soviet takeover. Similarly, Turkey faced pressure from the USSR, which sought control over the Dardanelles Strait and increased its influence in the region. This led to the U.S. and its allies taking a stand to contain Soviet expansion, culminating in the Truman Doctrine, which promised support to countries resisting communism.
