Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Truman Doctrine was a foreign policy strategy adopted by the United States in 1947 in which it pledged to support and preserve friendly governments from the threat of communism. This was in response to the growing influence of the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe and elsewhere in the world. The US believed that it was necessary to contain this influence and prevent the spread of communism, which it believed posed a threat to its own security and interests. The Truman Doctrine provided military and economic aid to countries threatened by communist aggression, and marked a significant shift in US foreign policy towards more active interventionism in global affairs.
