Question 17 • US History Studies Since 1877

Which information is important to include in notes for an essay on ways the United States fought the Cold War?

Answer
A
Truman asked Congress to give aid to Greece and Turkey to stop the spread of communism.
B
The British stopped giving aid to Greece and Turkey on March 31, 1947.
C
The Truman Doctrine was part of a speech that was delivered to a joint session of Congress.

Explanation

The essay is about ways the United States fought the Cold War, so notes should include a U.S. action against the spread of communism. Truman asked Congress to provide aid to Greece and Turkey for that purpose, making A important. The other choices give background details about the British decision and the setting of Truman’s speech, rather than describing the U.S. policy itself.
