Question

Compare the US and Soviet experience in WWII concerning cost and casualties. Why did Truman refuse to loan the Soviets money to rebuild?

Answer 1

Answer -

The Truman Doctrine was basically a shot at the Soviet Communism and how it wasn't right, so this obviously angered the Soviets. The Doctrine caused a divide between the communists and non-communists, which did indeed grow tension between America and the Soviet Union which eventually would lead to the Cold War.
