The Truman Doctrine, announced by US President Harry S. Truman in a speech to Congress on March 12, 1947, committed the United States to supporting countries that were resisting attempted subjugation by “armed minorities or by outside pressures.” This policy was initially aimed at providing aid to Greece and Turkey, which were facing threats from communist forces supported by the Soviet Union. It quickly became the cornerstone of US foreign policy during the Cold War, specifically the strategy of ‘containment’ of Soviet expansionism and the spread of communism.

The Truman Doctrine was a declaration of US support for countries threatened by communism, marking the beginning of the containment policy against the USSR.

The Truman Doctrine signaled a major shift in US foreign policy from isolationism to active intervention in global affairs to counter Soviet influence. It set a precedent for future US aid programs like the Marshall Plan and military alliances like NATO.
