President Truman discusses two different ways of life in this excerpt. What do you think he means by this? Do you agree with President Truman’s argument? Explain your answer. Do you believe that the Truman Doctrine was a declaration of the Cold War? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Answer and explanation #1

President Harry Truman talks about "two ways of life" in a speech to Congress in 1947.

When Truman talks about two ways of life he calls them one "free" and other "totalitarian". By this time the term totalitarianism had already become famous to classify extremely authoritarian regimes like the nazi and soviet regimes.

Thus the president can only be referring to the opposition between capitalist and communist economic systems represented by the US and Soviet Union.

To answer if you agree with President Truman's argument you should ask yourself a few questions: was the US back then a regime that really followed the will of the majority? how was the US back then? how was the USSR? how did political persecution work there? was it really impossible to both systems to exist in the world? In short, you must check Truman's arguments to see if you agree or disagree with them.

Answer and explanation #2

Most historians agree that this speech was a declaration of the Cold War. It was given when the US saw that the USSR could amplify its influence on Western Europe and Africa: Truman spoke to Congress to get approval to financially aid Turkey and Greece regimes against leftist groups supported by the USSR.

So we see in this speech the entire framing of the Cold War: a war that was not fought directly but rather by securing influence zones. This speech was the beginning of the Truman Doctrine: it started the Containment Policy which compromised to stop the spreading of communism to other areas of the world other than the USSR.  

What Truman started in this speech was the modus operandi of the Cold War until its end in the late 20th century.

They were also massively under equipped; they simply didn't have the control of the sea and skies necessarily to launch an attack on the island. Not to mention that the will of the British were incredibly strong, and they definitely weren't going to go down without a hefty fight. Those reasons are mostly why they didn't launch a swift attack on Great Britain.
