Communism ;)
Marshall Plan, Truman doctrine and I guess you could include the Eisenhower Doctrine as well.
The countries involved in the Truman Doctrine were the United States, Greece, and Turkey. In a speech to a joint session of Congress on March 12, 1947, President Truman asked for U.S. assistance for Greece and Turkey to forestall communist domination of the two nations.
George F. Kennan, toward the Truman doctrine
Some people opposed the Truman Doctrine because the plan ultimately ended up reversing the government's earlier decision not to get involved in European affairs. Many people wanted the U.S. to mind it's own business so as not to get involved in another war.
