One consequence of the Truman Doctrine was the introduction of Marshall Aid into Europe, where America funded the rebuilding of various countries that had suffered economically from WWII. The Truman Doctrine was a response to the rising threat of Russia and Communism, as it expanded its influence into the impoverished Eastern Europe, and was the official attitude that the USA took towards quashing the spread. The doctrine stated that, in order to prevent the spread of communist control, countries in poverty, being the most liable to such an attractive financial narrative, should be given aid to remove that appeal. Therefore, the US soon took action and finalised a plan to enter and support a majority of European countries: the Marshall Plan.

As stated previously, the Truman Doctrine was an approach to the advancement of Russian clout within Eastern Europe, which was to spread capitalism and favour across the remaining area of Europe in order to contain any further spread of communist influence. However, this required some affirmative action within the region, breaking the American tradition of nonpartisan or otherwise neutral transnational affairs. In the past, America believed that the lives and wealth of America should not be wasted on other countries on otherwise unaffecting issues. However, at that point, the USA was inclined to intervene in European affairs in order to tantamount and hinder the threat of communism. As a result, America entered Europe and began funding reconstruction of previously derelict states, with initiatives such as Marshall Aid, and involved itself in the hardships of others, if solely for their own means. West and Central Europe prospered once more, and in turn advocated their capitalistic ideology. However, Russia felt threatened by America's so-called 'dollar imperialism', with the USA spreading its influence into an economic 'empire'. Russia, therefore, felt justified to increase its indirect military and invasive action, ever encouraging ideological competition and setting down the foundations for proxy …show more content…
The Inspector speaks with brief, efficient phrases, such as when Mr Birling offers him a drink. The Inspector declines the proposal, saying "No, thank you, Mr Birling" because he is "on duty". The Inspector's rejection of Birling's influence demonstrates the extent of the Inspector's willpower, refusing to comply, as his peers would, suggesting that he is perfectly in control of events as they happen, but thus he is unlike those Birling can typically exploit. He displays some artificial politeness, refusing with a "thank you", perhaps implying an attempt to play down his authority, while his reasoning and brevity of speech bring forward a sense of the single-mindedness of the character, such that he hastily denies formalities, solely to accelerate his inquiries. Altogether, the result indicates that the Inspector is a calculated but highly driven character, saying exactly what he needs to in order to achieve a single goal, whereas Birling speaks brashly, and with no other purpose than to be heard. While the Inspector tactfully conceals his profound authority with false charm and a humble demeanour, Birling desperately flaunts power he does not truly have with long-winded rants and assertive (and ironically incorrect)
