The Scopes Trial, formally known as The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes and commonly referred to as the Scopes Monkey Trial, was an American legal case in July 1925 in which a substitute high school teacher, John T. Scopes, was accused of violating Tennessee's Butler Act, which had made it unlawful to teach human evolution in any state-funded school.[1] The trial was deliberately staged in order to attract publicity to the small town of Dayton, Tennessee, where it was held. Scopes was unsure whether he had ever actually taught evolution, but he purposely incriminated himself so that the case could have a defendant.

The Truman Doctrine was first stated by President Truman to Congress in 1947, and was mostly about providing economic aid.  Truman stated:  "It must be the policy of the United States to support free people who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures."  Essentially, the Truman Doctrine pledged American aid elsewhere in the world to check the spread of communist and Soviet influence.  The policy was first put into action in 1948 by providing economic support to Greece and Turkey to stave off communist movement in those countries.

The Eisenhower Doctrine was proclaimed by President Eisenhower in 1957.  Eisenhower pledged to provide economic <u>or also military</u> aid, as needed, to any Middle Eastern country needing help in resisting communist aggression.  This was in response to Soviet and other communist support to Egypt, and as a warning to the USSR in regard to the Suez Crisis of 1956.
