Truman Doctrine, laid the foundation for the strategy of containment of the communist regime, has evolved and the next president of the United States during the "Cold War."Its main goal was to attack the widespread opposition to the Communists.
After the war, the Soviet Union has made all that in the central and south-eastern Europe were able to come to power pro-Soviet forces, primarily the Communist Party.And for this purpose he presented territorial claims to Turkey, need to change the status of the Straits, including the Dardanelles, where the Union needed a naval base.
At the same time in Greece was a growing guerrilla movement, which was led by the Communists.It supports neighboring Albania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia, which has already been installed communist regime.
At a meeting in London, which brought together the foreign ministers of all the countries that were members of the Security Council, the Soviet Union demanded to give him the right to a protectorate over Libya to ensure its presence in the Mediterranean.This attempt to use the collective organization for the expansion of its power caused alarm among Western countries.
the Communist Party of Italy and France were considered in these countries, the largest force, and the governments of other countries were communists.The Soviet Union after the American allied forces in continental Europe became the dominant military power.
It would seem that the plans of the Soviet leadership did not hurt.
However, overseas, too, were concerned about the situation in Europe and looking for ways to resolve it.US diplomacy manifested itself in politics hard "containment" of the widespread penetration of communism.According to Washington, it was the only way to prevent war.
foreign policy program of the United States was outlined by the President Truman in his message to Congress in the spring of 1947.Following the approval of the bill she received the force of law.
Truman Doctrine, which he declared in his speech condemned the repressive communist rule.The President demonstrated strong language of the danger that arises in the world as a result of the establishment of such systems in some countries.As a result of the Congress were received authority to assist first Turkey and Greece, and then to other countries, which is in danger of "communist disease."
Truman Doctrine provides for Turkey and Greece financial aid - four hundred million dollars, supposedly to fight the "communist threat" that threatened those countries.
Such economic diplomacy culminated in the signing of agreements with the governments of these countries in June and July 1947.
Truman Doctrine pursued one goal: to limit the growth of the socialist and democratic movement after the Second World War, thus exerting permanent pressure on the Soviet Union and other socialist countries.
the United States maintained a policy of support for any of the reactionary forces and regimes, and so Truman Doctrine has become a tool for imperialist interference in the internal politics of Washington European countries.The result was a "cold war" and pumped to the limit of the international situation.It was the beginning of a large-scale military assistance "interesting" countries to the United States, the establishment in their territories of entire networks of military bases.
Truman Doctrine was developed with the active participation of Allen Dulles, Loy Henderson, George Kennan and other American politicians and diplomats.This Egard Wallace, the former US vice president, associate Roosevelt thought her insane step towards war, which will result in a deep international crisis.
