Question

Why did President Truman ask Congress to give financial aid to Greece and Turkey?

Answer 1

To help prevent these two countries from falling into communist control.

Explanation:

AT the end of WWII, Greece and Turkey were economically weak. This economic situation meant that the governments could collapse and be an open invitation for the communists to take control. The Russians were already meddling in the politics of the region. Truman viewed this as a great threat to the free world.
