Truman Doctrine
Truman Doctrine
FALSE
He created the Truman Doctrine, which protected other countries from communism.
it did not recieve support in congress
To my understanding the reason Truman helped the Europeans and Asian countries was because of communism, when countries are weak and poor they fall to communism and he didn't want that.
They did not support Trumans civil rights policies.
Defeat
Yes. The United States attempted to stop the USSR from spreading communism by supplying armaments, financing, and military support to countries on the verge of falling into a communistic government. The Korean Police Action and Vietnamese Conflict were attempts at stopping communism from overtaking the countries of Korea and Vietnam. The United States aided Afghanistan in the ten year war against Russia, which was an effort in keeping communism out of the Middle East.
One way that the Truman Doctrine was used to stop the spread of communism is by his policy called containment. This was a way to pour money and supplies into war-torn countries, keep them afloat and stop the spread of communism. Another example is the Marshal Plan that also gave money to European countries in return for support.
Marshall Plan, Truman doctrine and I guess you could include the Eisenhower Doctrine as well.
The Truman Doctrine promised support to any nation battling communism.
