Waning days of WWII-Truman doctrine




This is the Truman Doctrine to the committee on foreign affairs. It is also one of the first major documents on foreign policy in what will become known as the Cold War. Though the document was merely a continuation of the policy that he had already put forth earlier, Truman's monetary help to the Greeks became one of his most widely known documents of his presidency. For decades this document was the basis for the policy towards increased use of covert actions and monetary contributions to impoverished people fighting oppression and the influence of Communism.
