Truman Doctrine

The Truman Doctrine is a set of principles of U.S. foreign policy declared by President Harry S. Truman in a 1947 address to Congress to request $400 million in aid to Greece and Turkey. In addition, the United States soon established military bases in both countries. Truman's policy guided America actions in the Cold War. During the next four decades, the Truman Doctrine and the policy of containment would lead the U.S. into controversial involvements.
