ANALYZING A DOCUMENT
  • Nearly every nation must choose between
    alternative ways of life. The choice is too often
    not a free one. One way of life is based on the
    will of the majority. . . . The second way of
    life is based upon the will of a minority
    forcibly imposed forced upon the majority. . .
    . I believe that it must be the policy of the
    United States to support free peoples who are
    resisting attempted subjugation conquest by
    armed minorities or by outside pressures. I
    believe that we must assist free peoples to work
    out their own destinies in their own way.
  • Alternative ways of life One way of life was
    based on capitalism and democracy, while the
    other was based on the Communist system.
  • The choice is too often not a free one Truman
    meant that the Soviet Union was using pressure
    and intimidation to spread communism to other
    nations.
  • How would US show support? Truman declared that
    it must be the policy of the United States to
    support peoples in their struggle for freedom and
    self-determination.
