Detailed explanation-1: -The Truman Doctrine demonstrated that the United States would not return to isolationism after World War II, but rather take an active role in world affairs. To help rebuild after the war, the United States pledged $13 billion of aid to Europe in the Marshall Plan.
Detailed explanation-2: -President Truman attempted to contain communism through the Truman Doctrine.
