AP European History
Unit 9 – Cold War and Contemporary Europe
Topic 9.3
How did Truman Doctrine contribute to escalating Cold War Tensions?
By proposing a reunified Germany under NATO command, it alarmed Soviets who feared encirclement.
By advocating nuclear disarmament, it was seen as a sign of weakness by Soviets & escalated tensions.
By calling for an end to colonialism, it strained relations with its European allies who still held colonies.
By pledging assistance to any nation resisting communism, it formalized U.S's policy of containment thus intensifying East-West tensions.
