Answer:

The “Truman Doctrine” corresponds to the set of global economic, diplomatic and military strategies that were carried out by the government of the United States of America since 1947. The aim was to prevent the proliferation of communism and to guarantee the full functioning of world capitalism in the face of of Soviet policy maneuvers. Once the doctrine was implemented, the United States would intervene in any war in order to obey the Trumam Doctrine and “help countries to defeat communist insurgents”. Thus, from 1950 to 1961, the USA intervened in the Korean War, in the Vietnam War, in Iran, Guatemala, supported the invasion of Cuba and created the “School of the Americas” in Panama, where the military was encouraged to assume power in their countries.
