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.
It was primarily the "b. formation of the Vietcong in Vietnam" that led the Truman administration to expand the containment doctrine to include Asia, since this was seen as a threat to democratic principles in the west as well.
Well when scientists wish to learn something, they use the scientific method. The first step is to observe something/could be a problem. Then ask a question about it. Form a hypothesis, or a possible answer to that question. These are the first steps.
Further steps include setting up an experiment and results, etc, but I think you know the rest! Hope this helps!
Answer:
Europeans, maybe also Americans.
Explanation:
The Europeans are the most apparent. Britain and Germany were incredibly strong forces in China during and leading up to the Boxer Rebellion. America was also heavily involved. If I had to choose one, I would say Europe, but if not Europe and America were both heavily involved.
