The '''Truman Doctrine''' was a major anti-Communist American foreign policy that marked the start of the [[Cold War]]. President [[Harry S. Truman]] announced on March 12, 1947 that the U.S. would support [[Greece]] and [[Turkey]] with economic and military aid to prevent their falling into the Soviet sphere. The Doctrine shifted American foreign policy toward the [[Soviet Union]] from [[Détente]] to, as [[George F. Kennan]] phrased it, a policy of [[containment]] of Soviet expansion. Historians often use it to mark the starting date of the [[Cold War]].
