Did the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall plan cause the Cold War?
No. Neither did. The Cold War was the result of the time after WW2 and the term comes from a speech given by Churchill. The main reason for the Cold War is the philosophy that world had to be made safe for democracy and that communism had to be stopped. When Stalin was given the Baltic nations he was given power to control a major part of Eastern Europe and half of Germany. The Great fear from that point was he wanted to control the western nations of Europe and the political process expressed this fear. The American buildup of forces in Germany was a prime example of this. They were there to stop a Russian invasion from Poland.

The development of NATO, saw the US enter the first defensive treaty during peace time. Eisenhower used force in Lebanon and continued spying on the Russians until the U2Spy Plance incident. Kennedy had to deal with the communist take-over in Cuba, the failure of the Bay of Pigs operation, and the Cuban Missile Crisis. LBJ's administration was dealing with the Vietnam War while trying to establish the "Great Society" domestic programs. Nixon began to open relations with Communist China, still a threat to our interests in the Pacific and Reagan dealth with the "Evil Empire" until the collapse of communism and the destruction of the Berlin Wall.
