Truman Containment Theory
In the wake of violence and terrorism, there has been a great deal of discussions in various places including the media. The world underwent many turmoil, especially the turmoil caused by various wars and terrors. In majority of the cases, before the World Wars violence was also observed in many part of the world but those were limited in nature and less lethal compared to today’s world. After the World Wars the geopolitical situation of the world got a new dimension. The ‘Cold War’ divided the world into two camps and for creating their respective sphere of influence, armed race started. In the name of ‘Truman Doctrine’ or ‘Containment Theory’, President Truman started to provide political, military and economic assistance to all nations
who were under threat from Communist influence. On the other side, many political pundits postulate that the Stalin was really concerned over the sovereignty of his nation, i.e., the Western non-cooperation with the Communist system of government and their antagonistic attitudes. During the Cold War, the world observed many war, revolutions, violence in the name of ideologies. The results were millions of death and wounded, millions became destitute, and many migrated from their ancestral home. It is hard to put a number on how much financial loss it incurred due to the destructions of infrastructures. But one thing to remember here that all these chaos and wars took place in 3rd world countries. This Cold War created self-confidence and self-conscious among the youth of colonial countries and resulted mass revolts around the world. Mineral rich colonies, the financing machine for Europe, started to raise their independence movements thanks to Soviet propaganda and instigations. On the other hand, in the name of counter the spread of Communism, under the containments doctrine, many political and armed groups were created under direct supports from the ruling class. In the same way the communist support for the anti-colonial movement created various factions of armed groups within the communist domains. The Cold War destroyed the social fabric in many parts of the world and at last it ended in 1991.
