Анотація

The article is devoted to the analysis of the 1947 Truman Doctrine and its influence on international relations after World War II. It is emphasized that the proclamation of the doctrine marked the completeness and ideological justification of Washington's official course towards Greece and Turkey. The use of mainly economic methods by the United States to achieve certain foreign policy and military goals is highlighted. It is established that the analysis of events in the political sphere of Greece and Turkey, where major changes took place, corresponds to the general anti-communist course of the USA. The United States viewed Greece and Turkey in the context of a global confrontation with the USSR. It is substantiated that the post-war foreign policy of the United States towards Greece and Turkey had a decisive influence on the further development of these countries and outlined the bipolar nature of international relations. Consequently, at the end of Harry Truman's second presidential term, Greece and Turkey became full-fledged members of NATO, and the Marshall Plan assistance program was completed. It is proven that the confrontation between the two superpowers -the USA and the USSR was one of the main reasons for the revision of Greece and Turkey in the system of Washington's foreign policy priorities and the formation of the conceptual foundations of US policy based on the "containment" concept. The paper analyzes the consequences of the Truman Doctrine proclamation during the formation of the bipolar world at the global level, which makes it possible to understand the modern transformations of the international relations system. Undoubtedly, the United States still has a significant impact on the development of modern world politics. Global events of the early XXI century indicate an imitation of the methods and rhetoric of the United States during the Cold War. And the current relations between Washington and Moscow significantly update the topic of this paper. The positive relations dynamics between Ukraine and the USA also indicate the chosen topic's relevance.
