Question

1pt both the truman doctrine and the marshall plan were intended to
a. prevent a nuclear arms race
b. halt the spread of communism
c. help asian countries recover from war
d. support former european colonies

Explanation:

The Truman Doctrine provided military and economic aid to countries threatened by communism, while the Marshall Plan offered economic reconstruction aid to Western Europe to stabilize nations and make them less vulnerable to communist takeovers. Both were core parts of U.S. Cold War containment policy. Option A is incorrect because nuclear arms control came later; options C and D are wrong as the focus was on European (and Mediterranean for Truman Doctrine) nations, not Asian countries or former colonies broadly.

Answer:

B. halt the spread of communism
