1. How did the Truman Doctrine change US foreign policy?

History
1 answer:
Llana [10]3 years ago

Answer:

<h3>The Truman Doctrine stated that the US would provide aid for any nation that was under attack from communism. The Truman Doctrine was the first policy statement on containment where the US sought to limit Soviet influence to where it already existed. The United States spent thousands of dollars funding anti-communist forces in the Greek civil war after WWII.</h3>

Explanation:

After WWII, it appeared as though the US and the Soviet Union were on a collision course. The Soviet Union showed no intention of ever leaving Eastern Europe, and its occupation of East Germany placed the Western sector of Berlin in jeopardy. The United States had already alienated the Soviet Union by creating the Marshall Plan for Western Europe in order to rebuild the region's infrastructure and economy. This money was offered to the Soviet Union as well, but Stalin did not want to join the IMF and World Bank so his bloc was left out. Churchill gave his "Iron Curtain" speech in Independence, Missouri, to wide acclaim.

sattari [20]

<span>Wartime relations between the United States and the Soviet Union can be considered one of the highpoints in the longstanding interaction between these two great powers.  Although not without tensions--such as differing ideological and strategic goals, and lingering suspicions--the collaborative relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union nonetheless was maintained.  Moreover, it was instrumental in defeating Nazi Germany in 1945.</span>

 

<span>The United States greeted the democratic Russian Revolution of February 1917 with great enthusiasm, which cooled considerably with the advent of the Bolsheviks in October 1917.  The United States, along with many other countries, refused to recognize the new regime, arguing that it was not a democratically elected or representative government.  The policy of non-recognition ended in November 1933, when the United States, under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, established full diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, the last major power to do so.</span>

 

<span>Despite outwardly cordial relations between the two countries, American misgivings regarding Soviet international behavior grew in the late 1930s.  The August 1939 Nazi-Soviet Pact, which paved the way for Hitler’s invasion of Poland in September, followed by the Soviet invasion of Poland’s eastern provinces of Western Ukraine and Western Byelorussia, caused alarm in Washington.  The Soviet attack on Finland in November 1939, followed by Stalin’s absorption of the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania in 1940, further exacerbated relations.</span>

 

<span>The Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in June 1941, however, led to changes in American attitudes. The United States began to see the Soviet Union as an embattled country being overrun by fascist forces, and this attitude was further reinforced in the aftermath of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941.  Under the Lend-Lease Act, the United States sent enormous quantities of war materiel to the Soviet Union, which was critical in helping the Soviets withstand the Nazi onslaught.  By the end of 1942, the Nazi advance into the Soviet Union had stalled; it was finally reversed at the epic battle of Stalingrad in 1943.  Soviet forces then began a massive counteroffensive, which eventually expelled the Nazis from Soviet territory and beyond.  This Soviet effort was aided by the cross-channel Allied landings at Normandy in June 1944. </span>

 

<span>These coordinated military actions came about as the result of intensive and prolonged diplomatic negotiations between the Allied leaders, Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin, who became known as the “Big Three.”  These wartime conferences, which also sought to address issues related to the postwar world, included the November 1943 Tehran Conference.  At Tehran, Stalin secured confirmation from Roosevelt and Churchill of the launching of the cross-channel invasion.  In turn, Stalin promised his allies that the Soviet Union would eventually enter the war against Japan.  In February 1945, the "Big Three" met at Yalta in the Crimea.  The Yalta Conference was the most important--and by far the most controversial--of the wartime meetings.</span>

 

<span>Recognizing the strong position that the Soviet Army held on the ground, Churchill--and an ailing Roosevelt--agreed to a number of things with Stalin.  At Yalta, they granted territorial concessions to the Soviet Union, and outlined punitive measures against Germany, including Allied occupation and the principle of reparations.  Stalin guaranteed that the Soviet Union would declare war on Japan within 6 months after the end of hostilities in Europe.</span>

 

<span>While the diplomats and politicians engaged in trying to shape the postwar world, Soviet forces from the east and Allied forces from the west continued to advance on Germany.  After a fierce and costly battle, Berlin fell to Soviet forces on May 8, 1945, after Allied and Soviet troops had met on the Elbe River to shake hands and congratulate each other on a hard won impending victory<span>.  </span>Although the war in Europe was over, it would take several more months of hard fighting and substantial losses for Allied forces to defeat the Japanese in September 1945, including the first use of the atomic bomb.  In accordance with the Yalta agreements, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan in early August 1945, just prior to Japan’s surrender in September.</span>

What did Russia realize it needed to do
gayaneshka [121]

Answer: The Treaty of Paris, signed on 30 March 1856, ended the war. It forbade Russia from basing warships in the Black Sea.

Explanation:

Russia was forced to return the city of Kars and all other Ottoman territory which it had taken into its possession. The principalities of Wallachia and Moldovia were thus returned as Ottoman territory, later granted independence and eventually turned into modern-day Romania.

Describe these pictures in a very detailed way
romanna [79]

Okay so one with the lady seems as if she is bolting something in with a screwdriver. So the caption "It's our right too" seems to mean that the woman also want power in America. That they are American and should be given the same rights as the American men do. Picture two seems as if there is a aviator during WWl and is describing how the war was caused by whoever started it and their rebuttal is "We'll give'em hell!" Lastly the third picture looks as if a boat is sinking and if you spread any vital information "Loose lips might sink ships" simply means that anything that you might say in that era that could affect the ongoing war spies and other enemies might listen in and report causing failure in the war.
