Why did truman believe greece needed american aid in 1947?

Truman was afraid in 1947 that Greece was fall into the hands of the communists and would then be in the Soviet Union's sphere of influence. So, in order to combat that, Truman sent in military and intelligence advisors to push back communism.

on 6 november american voters will elect members of the house of representatives and the senate, which together are called congress.

both houses of congress are currently controlled by the republican party, which backs president donald trump.

the democrats think they can win control of the house of representatives this year by winning a majority of seats.

doing so would let them block or delay the president’s plans by refusing to enact them.

all 435 seats in the house of representatives are up for election.

if the democrats want to take control of the house by having the most seats, they’re going to have to claim at least 23 from the republicans.
