The first two countries to receive U.S. assistance to deter a communist takeover after the Truman Doctrine was announced were Greece and Turkey. In 1947, President Truman requested Congress to provide aid to these nations, which were in danger of falling into communism. This decision was crucial in maintaining American influence and countering Soviet expansion during the Cold War.
