Truman Doctrine
• At the present moment in world history nearly
every nation must choose between alternative
ways of life. The choice is too often not a free
one. . . .
• “I believe that it must be the policy of the United
States to support free peoples who are resisting
attempted subjugation [overthrow] by armed
minorities or by outside pressures. I believe that
we must assist free peoples to work out their
own destinies in their own way. . . .
Marshall Plan
• “The truth of the matter is that Europe’s requirements for
the next three or four years of foreign food and other
essential products—principally from America—are so
much greater than her present ability to pay that she
must have substantial additional help, or face economic,
social, and political deterioration of a very grave
character. The remedy lies in breaking the vicious circle
and restoring the confidence of the European people in
the economic future of their own countries and of Europe
as a whole. . . It is logical that the United States should
do whatever it is able to do to assist in the return of
normal economic health to the world, without which there
can be no political stability and no assured peace. . .”,
Berlin Airlift
• “When Berlin falls, western Germany will be
next. If we mean . . . to hold Europe against
Communism, we must not budge. We can take
humiliation and pressure short of war in Berlin
without losing face. If we withdraw, our position
in Europe in threatened.
If America does not understand this now, does
not know that the issue is cast, then it never will
and communism will run rampant. I believe the
future of democracy requires us to stay….[in
Berlin]
McCarthyism
• “Ideological termites have burrowed into many
American industries, organizations, and
societies. Wherever they may be, I say let us
dig them out and get rid of them. My brothers
and I will be happy to subscribe generously to a
pest-removal fund. We are willing to establish
such a fund to ship to Russia the people who
don’t like our American system of government
and prefer the communistic system to ours:
