Two plans emerged during the Truman administration in attempt to stop the spread of Communism. The Truman Doctrine was a request to Congress to assist Greece and Turkey with aid such as food and weapons in their quest to stop Communism in those countries. $400 millions dollars went to Greece and $100 million went to Turkey. As a result, they both joined NATO in 1952. The other plan to come out of that era was the Marshall plan, or the European Recovery Program. Named after the Secretary of State George Marshall, this program was an incentive to all European nations rebuilding after World War II not to turn to Communism. Billions of dollars were spent to redevelop the infrastructures of those European nations. This plan went into effect in 1947 and lasted to 1951.
What is an example of de facto discrimination?
- The "glass ceiling" scenario in which minorities find it difficult to rise to prominent positions due to discrimination.
- The discrimination African-Americans still faced, even after the Reconstruction amendments and repeal of the Jim Crow laws.
- Sunnis are driven out of their homes by Shiites in Iraq.
Note that all of these examples are instances of discrimination that are not backed by laws. "De juris" discrimination would be the segregation of schools in the United States, before Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, for example; it is discrimination written into the text of the law.
It is much more difficult to fix de facto discrimination than it is to fix de juris discrimination. The latter can be changed with a revised law. The former requires more intensive effort. De facto discrimination is why there are affirmative action programs in the United States, and scholarships just for minority groups.

What is the history of the United National Congress?
The United National Congress (UNC) is one of the two major political organizations in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. It was founded by Basdeo Panday, a lawyer and former trade unionist. The UNC was formed as the result of a split in the ruling National Alliance for Reconstruction in 1988. After spending six years in Opposition, the UNC won control of the government in 1995 (initially in coalition with the National Alliance for Reconstruction and later on their own). In the 2000 General Elections the UNC won an absolute majority in Parliament. In 2001 a split in the party caused the UNC to lose its parliamentary majority and control of the government. Between 1991 and 1995 and again since 2001 the UNC has been the Parliamentary Opposition party. Although many people see the UNC as the successor party to the United Labour Front, the UNC managed to attract much broader support than did any previous Indo-Trinidadian-dominated party.
