President Truman believed that continuing the fight in World War II would help ensure a swift and decisive victory over the Axis powers, ultimately saving lives by avoiding a protracted conflict. Additionally, demonstrating military strength was crucial for post-war international relations, particularly in establishing the United States' dominance and influence in the emerging global order. Truman also aimed to secure a stronger bargaining position for the upcoming peace negotiations and to counter the spread of communism.

Did congress agree to President Truman's request under the Marshall Plan of sending US aid to anti-communist forces in Greece and Turkey?

yes they did as British soldiers needed help fighting of the communist Greek rebels, soon Britain informed they could not afford to keep their soldiers fighting in Greece so Truman stepped in and sent them money for weapons and equipment. Greece was under communist influence but had a British government because Stalin agreed with Churchill that Greece would remain on the Western sphere of influence. Now Truman also saw Turkey under the threat of Communism so they sent US aid to them as well.
