We recall today The Truman Doctrine, or a "de facto declaration" of the Cold War made by President Truman on this day in 1947.
The Doctrine was based on the idea that the US was in a life-or-death struggle with the USSR. It set the guidelines followed by every president, from Truman until the collapse of the USSR in 1991.
