late in 1946, the soviet union began demanding land from turkey, and also encouraged greece's communist neighbors-albania, bulgaria, and yugoslavia-to overthrow the greek monarchy. president truman responded with a policy of containment that is, containing communism where it already existed, so it would not spread further. the president said, "i believe it must be the policy of the united states to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures." this policy would be the basis for the united states getting involved later in korea and in vietnam.

after serving as police commissioner of new york city, assistant secretary of the navy, and hero of the spanish american war, he became governor of new york. in 1900, republican leaders nominated him to run for vice president-usually an unimportant position-with presidential candidate mckinley, to keep him quiet.

roosevelt was an active and popular president, and at 42, the youngest man to serve in the office. he said the presidency provided a "bully pulpit" that allowed him to air his views, using his personality to force the government to take responsibility. senator la follette may have summed him up best by saying that "roosevelt made reform respectable in the united states."
