This is a fairly simple question about the results of the Truman Doctrine.

Quote

1. America changed her policy - overturned for ever the 'Monroe Doctrine' of isolation (which they had followed since the 19th century) - and adopted instead the 'Truman Doctrine' . Truman's speech was in fact America's declaration of 'Cold War' on Russia.

2. Congress allocated $400 million for immediate military intervention in Greece and Turkey - the Communists were quickly defeated/stopped in both countries.

3. Truman sent General George Marshall to Europe to see what else needed to be done - this led immediately to the Marshall Plan

4. Although the word was not in the speech), the Truman Doctrine came to stand for 'containment' - not trying to 'roll back' Communism, but stopping further advance - this idea led to the Korean and Vietnam Wars

5. Truman's idea of Soviet advance led to the 'domino theory', which lay behind the Korean and Vietnam Wars

6. Truman's decision to give military support to countries resisting Communism led eventually to the formation of NATO

For more ideas I would just chase "consequences of the Truman Doctrine" and "Results of the Truman Doctrine" on google.

Remember that it isn't just about LISTING the results -- 'assess the significance' means you also have to say something about how important you think the result is.
