Truman Doctrine
(en)
an American foreign policy created to counter Soviet geopolitical expansion during the Cold War; announced March 12, 1947 and further developed on July 12, 1948 when Truman pledged to contain Soviet threats to Greece and Turkey
The universalism of the Truman Doctrine in March 1947 was thus not a mistake or a momentary lapse of judgement. It was essential for the whole operation.
