History

The Zhou Dynasty used the notion of the Mandate of Heaven to defend the overthrow of the Shang Dynasty. The "Mandate of Heaven" is an earliest Chinese philosophical concept, which was created during the Zhou Dynasty(1046-256 BCE). The Mandate of Heaven decides whether a ruler of China is satisfactorily righteous to lead; if he does not accomplish his responsibilities as an emperor, then he fails the Mandate and thus the right to be emperor.  Zhou leaders appealed that the Shang emperors had become fraudulent and unfit, so Heaven commanded their removal.

Liula [17]
The Truman Doctrine definitely represents the policy of containment. Containment is the idea that America wants to stop the spread of communism to other nations. America is fearful that if they fail to stop communism from spreading to one country, that it will lead to several countries becoming communist (known as the domino effect).

In order to stop the spread of communism, the US government tries to give financial assistance to countries that are susceptible to falling under Soviet control. Two of these countries in particular are Turkey and Greece (due to their geographical location near the Soviet Union). This is why President Harry Truman proposes $400 million worth of aid to these countries, so that they may stabilize their economy and become allies with the United States. This shows containment, as without these funds the countries could have very well been taken over by the Soviet Union and the system of communism.

Ivenika [448]
Japan invaded Manchuria.

They did this because Manchuria was poorly defended and had many resources.

It had living space for their surplus population and Manchuria had enough raw materials, food and other goods that would make Japan self-sufficient.
