During the Truman administration, significant foreign policy events included the implementation of the Marshall Plan to aid European recovery post-World War II and the establishment of the Truman Doctrine, which committed the U.S. to containing communism. Under Eisenhower, the policy of Massive Retaliation was introduced, along with interventions in the Middle East and Latin America, such as the CIA-led coup in Iran in 1953. Kennedy's administration was marked by the Cuban Missile Crisis, which brought the U.S. and the Soviet Union to the brink of nuclear war, as well as the establishment of the Peace Corps and a focus on counterinsurgency in Vietnam. Each administration navigated the complexities of the Cold War, shaping U.S. engagement with the world.
