The Truman Doctrine was an act of containment. Basically, military equipment and supplies were rushed to Greece and Turkey to help resist the spread of communism. Greece, at the time, was experiencing a Civil War and was in danger of falling to communism. The Truman Doctrine did help contain communist growth, but specifically in Greece and Turkey.

What was the main goal of Russia after WW ll?

Stalin wanted control of Europe and had gained the Baltic States in his agreement with FDR and Churchill. His goal was to see the growth of the communist state in as many countries as possible. This created the situation called the Cold War when the western powers made it a policy to contain the communist aggression they perceived to be taking place by Stalin.


How did the Marshall Plan differ from the Truman Doctrine?

Excellent answer. The Marshall Plan, the brainchild of George C. Marshall (who had been head of the Allied Chiefs of Staff during WW II), really had no intended connection to the Truman Doctrine and the policy of "Containment." It did, however, bring the US and USSR into conflict over the rebuilding of Germany and the western sectors of Berlin, and so became entangled in the Containment Policy, which was the invention of George Keenan. By rebuilding Western Europe and seeking to prevent the spread of Communism by all means possible, not only military means, the two policies became for a time two integral parts of Truman's foreign policy. The Marshall Plan, of course, ended when it's purpose was finished, but Containment remained a vital part of US policy until the economic collapse of the Soviet Union. That economic collapse was the very point of Keenan's plan.


Why did Truman start his policy of containment?

Truman inherited it. Communism existed well before WW2, and well before Truman became president. FDR and his vice president (Truman) knew they might have to fight the Communists sooner or later. As it turned out, Truman ended up fighting the Communists 5 years after FDR's death (President Roosevelt died in May 1945). Truman STARTED his policy of containment because George Keenan (our diplomat in Moscow) sent him a message outling the way that the U.S. would be able to contain communism in the Soviet Union. The policy of containment was based off this first outline and it was initiated because we believed that if not stopped communism would take over the world slowly but surely, look at our belief of the Domino Effect in communism.
