mar 12, 1947 - Truman Doctrine
Description:
The Truman Doctrine was created in 1947 by President Truman, promising to help stop the communist spread in Greece and Turkey. In simpler terms, the Doctrine meant that the US should help Greece and Turkey to stop from being "Soviet Communists". This was seen as the start of the cold war because the Soviet Union saw this as a threat and form of attack against them.Added to timeline:
