The Cold War was a period of conflict and competition between United Sates and the Soviet Union that evolved into a war. After World War 2 European countries that had been involved in the war were no longer able to provide support to other fallen nations. Great Britain had lots of rebuilding of it country and could no give financial aid to Greece and France. So Truman came up with doctrine that gave aid to these countries. It also let our former allies know that they can depend on America to do something and follow through. Since the Soviet Union knew that no one would vote for communism for fallen European countries at the Potsdam meeting. The U.S.S.R started aiding European counties with economical troubles so in return they would become communist. The United States didn't like the idea of communism spreading so the secretary of state came up with the Marshall Plan. The Marshall Plan was a law that gave military and economic support to European countries so they would not have to get help from U.S.S.R and fall under communism. After this time tension between the Soviet Union and United States was at a all time high.
