The Truman Doctrine
- Implemented when G.B. Decided to pull out of Greece
- 400. mil. Dollars pledged to Greece and Turkey to prevent expansion of communism - It became a mantra for American policy throughout the world to stop the spread of Communism - "line in the sand" "It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit."
