No. Neither did. The Cold War was the result of the time after WW2 and the term comes from a speech given by Churchill. The main reason for the Cold War is the philosophy that world had to be made safe for democracy and that communism had to be stopped. When Stalin was given the Baltic nations he was given power to control a major part of Eastern Europe and half of Germany. The Great fear from that point was he wanted to control the western nations of Europe and the political process expressed this fear. The American buildup of forces in Germany was a prime example of this. They were there to stop a Russian invasion from Poland.
The Truman Doctrine underpinned American Cold War policy in Europe and around the world. The doctrine endured because it addressed a broader cultural insecurity regarding modern life in a globalized world.

The Truman Doctrine and The Marshall Plan further defined and deepened the Cold War in Europe because, Stalin grew wary of the American's, he never particularly liked Truman, one can see this in the difference of Yalta and Potsdam. - So when Truman went around - beating communism down, (he never used the word Communism), but he made it very clear- Stalin grew less trustworthy of the Americans.- Hence, the Marshall Aid in particular, deepened the 'bad feeling' between the two superpowers, and therefore deepened the Cold War tensions.

containment and the Truman doctrine
The Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan were both key components of U.S. foreign policy during the early Cold War, aimed at containing the spread of communism. The Truman Doctrine, announced in 1947, pledged American support to nations resisting communist influence, primarily through military and economic aid. The Marshall Plan, implemented in 1948, provided significant financial assistance to help rebuild war-torn European economies, thereby stabilizing them and preventing the rise of communist movements. Together, they sought to promote political stability and economic recovery in Europe as a bulwark against Soviet expansion.
