The Truman Doctrine documented the new foreign policy of the US follwing the end of WWII. This was focused primarily on the disintegration of Germany and the spread of communism in eastern Europe. Truman's policy was called containment, as his goal was to limit the influence of the Soviet Union that they held over their stellite nations. Truman wants to helped the low growth nations that faced hardship beofre and after the war. Truman fears the domino effect, which is the quick spread of communism in developing nations if the US doens interveine. Overall Truman is trying to maintain the soveringty of captialism around the world.

| This reminds me of pro gun activists wishing to have gun laws not changed, as they fear a similar domino effect that will lead to the mass banning of all guns once they are banned in one place. |
