The Cold War Escalates

Question 16 • [HSSWH] World History, Sem 2 (26-27)

The goal of both the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan was to

Answer
A
win World War II.
B
maintain good relations with the Soviet Union.
C
contain the spread of communism.
D
establish satellite states in Europe.

Explanation

Both policies were part of the U.S. effort to limit the spread of communism after World War II. The Truman Doctrine offered aid to countries threatened by communist pressure, while the Marshall Plan provided economic assistance to help rebuild Europe and reduce the appeal of communism. So their shared goal was to contain communism, not to win World War II or establish Soviet-style satellite states.
