Truman is claiming that if the United States does not help Greece and Turkey, they will eventually fall to communism.
This excerpt is from a speech given by Truman after World War II and is the basis of the Truman Doctrine. After World War II, the US was worried about the Soviet Union and the system of communism spreading all over Europe. If communism spread, it would increase the Soviet Union's power, making them the world's largest superpower.
The US did not want this to happen, as they feared that if one country fell to communism, nearby countries would fall as well. This is known as the domino theory. To prevent this from happening, the US ends up giving $400 million to Greece and Turkey in order to stabilize their economy.
Either C or D. I would assume D because the southern states were made military districts.
The congress are voted for by the people. If someone wants to run for Congress, they run against other people. The people choose who they want, and vote for them when the time comes.
Hope it helps ❤️
The fear that communism would spread, like the domina theory that Asian countries would fall to communism like dominos
