Summary of the Truman Doctrine -
President Truman addressed Congress on March 12, 1947. He declares that Greece has a desperate need for economic aid to stay a free country. Turkey is another country in need of American aid. The U.S. is the only democratic country able to help out and provide support. It is in America's best interest to air so that totalitarianism does not spread any further. Otherwise "we may endanger the peace of the world... and the welfare of our own nation."
