Truman is claiming that if the United States does not help Greece and Turkey, they will eventually fall to communism.

This excerpt is from a speech given by Truman after World War II and is the basis of the Truman Doctrine. After World War II, the US was worried about the Soviet Union and the system of communism spreading all over Europe. If communism spread, it would increase the Soviet Union's power, making them the world's largest superpower.

The US did not want this to happen, as they feared that if one country fell to communism, nearby countries would fall as well. This is known as the domino theory. To prevent this from happening, the US ends up giving $400 million to Greece and Turkey in order to stabilize their economy.

You have explored a portion of each party’s platform. How do the parties’ views on energy compare? Write your answer in at least
asambeis [7]

The two main parties in the US have differing opinions on many issues. One of the most important ones is energy.

The Republican party believes that oil and natural gas are the best pathways for the US to reach an independent source of energy and economic growth. It also believes these industries can lead to job growth. It opposes the Kyoto Protocol and the UN's mandatory controls on carbon emissions. On the other hand, the Democratic party believes in investing in renewable resources, such as wind, solar and water as the main means to obtain energy. They also defend the protection of natural areas from exploitation caused by the oil and natural gas industries.

I think the Democratic party has views that address climate change and environmental destruction in a more effective way.
