The correct answer is fighting a communist takeover.

The Truman Doctrine was created after World War II in order to help those countries who were in jeopardy of falling under control of communism. In the Truman Doctrine, the US federal government is going to agree to give $400 million in economic aid to Greece and Turkey. The goal in giving this money is to help the countries recover from World War II as well as developing a political and economic alliance.

After September 2, 1949, both the United States and the Soviet Union had atomic weapons that they could use against each other.
Over [174]

In the Cold War, the United States (USA) and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) were at odds with each other because of strongly different worldviews.  The USA was committed to capitalism and democratic institutions of government, whereas the USSR was committed to communism and imposed authoritarian government.  Initially, the USA had atomic weapons and the USSR did not.  (The US would not share that technology with the Soviets, who had been their ally in World War II.)  But once the Soviets developed their own atomic weaponry, this led to a massive arms race between the superpowers.  The two nations kept escalating their weapons capabilities and stockpiles.  It got to the point that if the two sides did plunge into war, they would face mutually assured destruction.  John Foster Dulles, the Secretary of State under President Eisenhower, wanted a change from what had been the "containment policy" which the US had followed during the Truman Administration, as recommended then by American diplomat George F. Kennan.   Dulles felt the containment approach put the United States in a weak position, because it only was reactive, trying to contain  communist aggression when it occurred.  Dulles sought to push America's policy in a more active direction; some have labeled his approach "brinkmanship."  In an article in LIFE magazine in 1956, Dulles said, "The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art."  He wasn't afraid to threaten massive retaliation against communist enemy countries as a way of intimidating them.

Eventually (after decades of the arms race and tensions) the US and USSR would pursue policies of detente, which included pledges to reduce their nuclear arsenals.  The arms race and solving the arms race were constant issues affecting the Cold War.

<em>See how the Louisiana Purchase led to the forcible removal of Indian tribes and fueled the slavery debateIn 1803, representatives of the United States traveled to France to negotiate for the city of New Orleans, which was then held by the French. Instead, they gained the entire Louisiana Territory, a total of 828,000 square miles. This vast acquisition of land cost the United States approximately 15 million dollars – or only about three cents an acre.</em>

The purchase also gave the United States control of both banks of the Mississippi River, as well as the port city of New Orleans, which connected the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. Thirteen states, either in whole or in part, were eventually carved out of this new territory.</em>
