Communist forces were in very real danger of taking control in Greece and Turkey and Britain was unable to continue their military commitments in these countries. Britain appealed to America to take over these commitments which led to Truman’s speech to win support from Congress to provide economic and military support to help resist Communist forces in Europe. The Truman Doctrine directly led to America giving aid to Greece and Turkey who were then able to resist communist forces and, therefore, contain the spread of Communism in the South East Europe.
