Truman Doctrine
After World War II Soviet Union was gaining influence around the world and spreading the communists systems of administrations. Such an influence was a threat to many countries and America feared being overtaken and overridden by this precept. By that time Truman was the president of America. Their primary fear was that the American influence would wane and cease in most parts of the world. For such a reason President Truman needed to find ways of counteracting this influence before its impacts. The Americans could not withstand seeing the communists taking control of the East European nations and expanding its boundaries. It impacted fears that the Communists would rule the world, with China getting converted to a communist state. It is important to look at how the Truman administration worked to counter the effects of the communists influence in America.[It was during his second time as a president after the death of President Franklin. He was referred to as the accidental president.]
Truman as the president led a discussion with the Congress to find solutions of this fear of the communist threat. It is in this discussion that the Truman doctrine was created to be a governing tool and create a counter influence around the globe. The policy was designed to aid the Greek-Turkey relations, as a first step to combating the threats (Spalding 64). The American government was to create a wave of the influence in Greece and Turkey. Their spreading nature across the cultures was through satellite states and would have affected the chances of developing in the times. At some point, it became apparent that the Greek would be under the influence of Communism and the best way America would act was to take part, though slowly in the role of Britain and Europe (Spalding 66).[Greek and Turkey were the next places the Soviet Union was headed by their influence.]
The Truman doctrine was a famous aid that was to help the Greek and Turkish community and was believed to be a resistance force against communism influence. The doctrine was a break from the older policies that they used to gather force in the world. It was a radical time that they had to work with people and avoid the original isolation strategies the Americans used (Spalding 69). The primary concern upon their dominance was to thwart the unfair rule that led to an unjust democratic system in their country. The communist had no fundamental respects to human life and rights as the Americans expected.[There was an outcry of abuse of fundamental rights like religion, expression and cultures.]
A combination of three elements was essential to make their strategy and influence work. The political, economical and social power was their main idea and that it would have a free ride on the minds and lives of the people, and that would be an easy method to get into the system. The imagination of the influence of the Soviet Union in the northern Greece had developed in Washington, though they believed that they were an insecure nation (Bryan 492). Besides the influence in Greece, America was to conceal all the areas of penetration that the communists would have had in Britain. For the same reasons, offering support to Europe and Britain was an ...
