Answer 1

The idea behind the Truman doctrine was that if the United States helped people who were a part of the War, that those people would become western oriented and would not work together with the soviets. The most notable examples are Greek and Turkey where a lot of US money was invested to help rebuild and prevent the spread of Communism.
