The Truman Doctrine & Marshall Plan | USA Begins Containment

Designed for GCSE History. Truman has a problem. Communism is spreading and no one wants a war. So Containment is born! Truman creates the Truman Doctrine to give support against the spread of Communism, while the Marshall Plan promises money for European countries. But will it stop the Red Spread?

This video covers:
1) A brief introduction to the situation in Europe.
2) The Greek Civil War's impact on Truman's actions.
3) What the Truman Doctrine was.
4) What the Marshall Plan was.
5) The consequences of both on USA/USSR relations.

These videos are made by Andy Hassan as part of the History Blast series. These are meant for educational purposes only.

At the start of the video, I introduced the channel as 'History Bite'. Please note that this is the old name of History Blast, which was changed in August 2021. The use of the name can be attributed to the Trademark 'History Bites', registered to Solomon Schmidt.
