Which policy pledged to support free peoples resisting subjugation by armed minorities or outside pressures?

• A. Truman Doctrine
• B. Containment
• C. Marshall Plan
• D. Eisenhower Doctrine

Answer: (A)

The main idea is a pledge by the United States to defend free peoples resisting subjugation by armed minorities or outside pressures. This describes the Truman Doctrine, announced in 1947, which committed the U.S. to assist nations resisting communist subjugation—most notably Greece and Turkey—and marked a move toward containing Soviet influence. Containment is the broader strategy behind this pledge, not the specific promise to aid free peoples. The Marshall Plan focused on rebuilding European economies, while the Eisenhower Doctrine extended similar ideas to the Middle East later on. So, the Truman Doctrine is the policy that matches this pledge.
