Containment and Context Notes

Take notes on the concept of containment, and the skill of using context to analyze historical documents

Truman Doctrine and Wallace's Letter to Truman

Read and annotate both documents (see below for required sections).  Need at least 3 annotations per page.

Truman Doctrine:

• Why would Truman advocate for this type of containment?  Draw upon your knowledge of the Cold War, and make sure you explain how the CONTEXT might affect his position.
• Bullet the main points of his argument

Henry Wallace:

• How does Wallace view the Truman Doctrine? 
• Why do you think Wallace has such a different view of the situation?  Again, use CONTEXT to help you figure it out!
• Bullet the main points of his argument

Truman Doctrine Cartoon

Choose one of these documents, and create a simple political cartoon that expresses the main idea of the document.  Make sure to title it so that it is obvious which document it is representing.
