Two Column Notes (Primary Source Document) Comments, Connections, Questions, Predictions, Inferences Author: -President Harry Truman Place: -I can predict that the USSR would get angry from the Truman Doctrine because they would most likely rather take control of Greece and Turkey to make them communist, but instead the US is deciding. -United States of America -Has helping countries back then and throughout our history caused the debt that we have now since we gave out so much? Audience: Prior Knowledge: -Truman was the vice president of F.D.R’s 4th and last term -When F.D.R died Truman became president -The Truman Doctrine was his way of helping countries so that they would not fall to communism -Truman did not like Stalin and the Soviet’s plans -The United States Congress Reason: -Inform Congress on his plan, the Truman Doctrine -I believe that the US Congress was fine with these plans because the US was focused on containing communism, keeping it out, and keeping it away from the United States The Main Point: -Truman wants the Congress to supply aid to Greece and Turkey. He states that they need our help and we need to supply it so they can make choices on their own and don’t become overcome with communism Significance: -This is significant because throughout the whole speech he does not come out and say it, but talks about the evils that could take over these countries, which is the USSR. This was during the Cold War so Truman is targeting communist beliefs and making sure that the US keeps the rest of the world capitalist to the best of their abilities. Analysis: President Truman wants the US Congress to supply aid to Greece and Turkey so that they can recover and set up a stable system for themselves, which Truman hopes and believes it will be capitalist. Truman’s goal is to help any country threatened by communism so that they don’t fall to communism as the rest of the world may follow.
