Correct answer:  A. It amounted to an informal declaration of Cold War.

Explanation/detail:

The Truman Doctrine became the basis for the United States' foreign policy during the Cold War.  The Truman Doctrine was first stated by the president to Congress in 1947, saying:  "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 effort 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 essence of this policy was called "containment" -- keeping communism where it was and stopping it from spreading.  

The containment policy had been recommended by George F. Kennan, America's ambassador in Moscow after World War II.  In 1946, he sent what became known as "the long telegram" of his advice about what the USA needed to do about the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).  Kennan took note of the internal problems the USSR had.  He advised not pushing the conflict too much, but instead just try to "contain" the Soviet Union and wait for their system to collapse under the weight of its own problems.  Kennan was right.  It took almost 50 years, but eventually the communist system in the USSR fell apart.  [The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics came to an end in 1991.]

Why might the Allies have allowed the Soviet Union to join them when they knew full well about Stalin's tactics
SIZIF [17.4K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

Allies allowed the Soviet Union to join them when they knew full well about Stalin's tactics because Great Britain and France really knew that they alone, could not stop Hitler's troops from invading France and then the British territory.

Winston Churchill and Charles De Gaulle knew that although Joseph Stalin was a tyrant and a dictator, he ruled over a great land with supplies and had the kind of strong men in its army that could be of great help to contain the Germans.

That is how, the three allies with the help of the United States army, could devise a plan to retake North Africa to invade through Italy (the Axis troops had occupied North Africa), invade France from Britain and Germany from the Soviet Union. Once done that, the United States Navy with the help of the Allies could attack and defeat Japan in the Pacific.

What was one cause of the French and Indian war?
Len [333]

The French and Indian War began in 1754 and ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763. The war provided Great Britain enormous territorial gains in North America, but disputes over subsequent frontier policy and paying the war's expenses led to colonial discontent, and ultimately to the American Revolution.
