Section 2 Containing Communism The Truman Doctrine offered aid to any nation resisting communism; the Marshall Plan aided European countries in rebuilding.

Section 2 Increasingly exasperated by the Soviet’s refusal to cooperate, officials at the State Department asked the American Embassy in Moscow to explain Soviet behavior. −Diplomat George Kennan responded with what became known as the Long Telegram. −Kennan proposed “a long term, patient but firm and vigilant containment of Russian expansive tendencies”—the basic policy followed by the United States throughout the Cold War.containment Containing Communism (cont.)

Section 2 After World War II, instead of withdrawing as promised, the Soviet troops remained in northern Iran. Containing Communism (cont.) −Stalin then began demanding access to Iran’s oil supplies; he also helped local Communists establish a separate government in northern Iran. −The secretary of state sent Stalin a strong message demanding that they withdraw from northern Iran.

Section 2 −Coupled with the threat of the USS Missouri sailing into the eastern Mediterranean, Stalin withdrew. In August 1946 Stalin demanded joint control of the Dardanelles with Turkey. After Britain informed the United States that they could no longer afford to help Greece, Truman gave a speech to Congress outlining a policy that became known as the Truman Doctrine.

Section 2 In June 1947 Secretary of State George Marshall proposed the European Recovery Program, or Marshall Plan, which would give European nations American aid to rebuild their economies.

The Truman Doctrine

Section 2 The new nation was called the Federal Republic of Germany—or West Germany. The Soviet zone eventually became the German Democratic Republic—or East Germany. The Soviets then cut all road and rail traffic to West Berlin, hoping to force the United States to either reconsider its decision or abandon West Berlin. Containing Communism (cont.)

Section 2 −Truman ordered the air force to fly supplies into Berlin instead—known as the Berlin airlift. By April 1949, an agreement had been reached to create the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)—a mutual defense alliance. For the first time in its history, the United States had committed itself to maintaining peace in Europe. Containing Communism (cont.) NATO Is Born, 1949
