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: -The Truman doctrine focuses on military aid, such as that lent to Greece and Turkey in the 1940’s whilst the Marshall Plan was a package of purely economic aid, at least outwardly (Borchard 1947: 885).
Detailed explanation-3: -The State Department proposed the policy of containment, known as the Truman Doctrine. In places where communism threatened to expand, American aid might prevent a takeover. This policy enabled the United States to contain communism within its current borders. The war left most of Western Europe in dire need.
