Answer 1

D United Nations is correct

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Truman stated that the United States needed to lead the fight against the spread of communism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Truman Doctrine was a foreign policy doctrine triggered by Harry S. Truman, President of the United States, on 12 March 1947 when he declared that the United States will support Greece and Turkey with economic and military assistance to prevent them from falling under Communism during the Greek Civil War. Truman suggested that the policy would set a precedent for the United States to support "free peoples" who resisted "totalitarian governments".

The United States sent $ 400 million to the area, but no military forces. This led to the collapse of the communist threat in both countries, and in 1952 Greece and Turkey joined NATO, the Western military alliance.

The doctrine became the basis of US foreign policy during the Cold War and expanded to form a containment policy, namely to limit the spread of communism.
