Economic aid to Greece, particularly through the Marshall Plan in the late 1940s, was crucial in stabilizing the country after World War II and the Greek Civil War. By providing financial support for reconstruction and development, the U.S. aimed to strengthen the Greek economy and reduce poverty, which were conditions that fostered communist influence. This aid helped bolster the pro-Western government, enabling it to counteract communist insurgents, thus curtailing the spread of communism in the region. Overall, the infusion of aid contributed to political stability and economic resilience, undermining the appeal of communist ideologies.

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.

What was the purpose of Truman Doctrine?
On the surface, the Truman Doctrine was to offer military and economic aid to the fighters attempting to repel Soviet backed forces in Greece and Turkey. However, the Truman Doctrine also allowed the U.S. and its allies to practice what would be called the Containment Theory. The theory said that Communism had to be contained in countries already exposed to Communism so they would not spread. If they spread to one country, the surrounding countries would also pick up Communism, in a domino effect that would cause the entire world to be Communist. This is a partial cause of the Vietnam War, attempting to aid in economic and military means, the South Vietnamese, who were trying to keep Communism contained to the north.
