The document discusses the capitalist and communist perspectives on the Truman Doctrine and early Cold War policies of the United States. It provides context on the Truman Doctrine, the policy of containment to stop the spread of communism, and the Marshall Plan to rebuild Western Europe's economies through American aid to prevent the growth of communist influence. Images depict the US supporting Greece and Turkey and delivering economic aid to Europe to bolster countries against Soviet expansion.

2. CAPITALIST PERSPECTIVE

3. What we can see in this source is Stalin choking with a pipe that says Truman`s Doctrine. In this cartoon, the capitalists (USA) showed that Stalin wouldnt obey the Doctrine that Harry Truman wrote, and that he couldn`t even stand it (that’s why he is choking)

4. COMMUNIST PERSPECTIVE

5. What we can see in this picture is the communist view about what the USA was doing politically in 1948. They thought that the USA was trying to control the whole world, and if they didnt take any action, they would be soon controlled by them.

6. The policy of containment: Policy that the United States applied to prevent the spread of communism, make the American influence stronger in other countries and prevent a domino effect.

7. TRUMAN DOCTRINE: Policy set by president Harry S Truman stating that the U.S. would support Greece and Turkey with economic and military aid to prevent their falling into Soviet hands.

8. The Marshall Plan was the large-scale American programme to help Europe where the United States sent money to help rebuild European economies in order to combat the spread of communism.

9. The 1st image shows what was happening at the moment; although they had the weapons, they didn´t use them. The 2nd image shows a pamphlet in which we can infer that communism is negative, and that it has to be fought against.

10. In this conference, Harry Truman announced that the U.S would support Turkey and Greece econocmically and with military aid. This shows the American army arriving in Greece.

11. This image shows how the U.S.A helped Eurpe economically giving a boost to their economies. This is a good example of how the U.S.A supported the european countries; the image shows a delivery of supplies to the recovering countries.
