The Truman Doctrine was a U.S. foreign policy established in 1947 to contain the spread of communism, primarily aimed at supporting Greece and Turkey against communist threats. President Truman argued for American intervention to assist free peoples resisting subjugation, leading to significant military and financial aid. This policy shaped U.S. actions during the Cold War and became a cornerstone of American foreign policy.
