One of the most significant outcomes of the Truman Doctrine was the Vietnam War. The Truman Doctrine dictated that communism must be contained at all costs. Had the U.S. not been so terrified of the spread of communism, it would not have tried so hard for so long to defeat the Vietcong army.
However, I think the answer you may be looking for is the Greek Civil War. President Truman gave 300 million dollars to the Greek government, to help them fight the communists in their own country.

The Truman Doctrine was an American policy to halt Soviet expansion during the Cold War. President Harry Truman pledged to contain communism in Europe and elsewhere and impelled the US to support any nation with both military and economic aid if its stability was threatened by communism or the Soviet Union.With the Soviet Union suddenly imposing a rail, road, and canal blockade of Berlin in 1948, Truman responded with the Berlin Airlift. From 24 June 1948 - 12 May 1949, the United States organized a 24/7 re-supply mission to carry supplies to the people in West Berlin. The United States Air Force, Britain's Royal Air Force, the Royal Canadian Air Force, the Royal New Zealand Air Force, the Royal Australian Air Force, and the South African Air Force flew 200,000-plus flights, providing an average of 4,700 tons of necessities such as food, fuel, and medical supplies daily.
