Under the Eisenhower Doctrine, a Middle Eastern country could request American economic assistance or aid from U.S. military forces if it was being threatened by armed aggression from another state.

2.艾森豪威爾主義
艾森豪威爾主義為馬歇爾計劃的組成部分之一,由美國總統(tǒng)艾森豪威爾在冷戰(zhàn)時期提出的一項對外政策。50年代,在中東和北非民族解放運動高漲的形勢下,為遏制蘇聯(lián)等社會主義國家對中東的影響,艾森豪威爾于1957年1月5日正式向國會提交一份關于中東問題的特別咨文。其中心思想是“中東出現(xiàn)的真空必須在俄國人近來之前由美國來填補“,要求國會授權他在中東實行“軍事援助和合作計劃”。3月7日美國國會通過決議。3月9日由艾森豪威爾簽署生效。決議宣稱:保持中東地區(qū)國家的獨立和完整關系到美國的重大利益,授權總統(tǒng)動用2億美元,給這些國家以經濟和軍事援助:美國可在這一地區(qū)使用武力,以對付所謂“國際共產主義的武裝侵略”。1958年7月,根據(jù)艾森豪威爾主義,美國出兵黎巴嫩,干預該國國內事務。

Harry S. Truman (May 8, 1884 – December 26, 1972) was the 33rd President of the United States (1945–53). As the final running mate of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944, Truman succeeded to the presidency on April 12, 1945, when Roosevelt died after months of declining health. Under Truman, the Allies successfully concluded World War II; in the aftermath of the conflict, tensions with the Soviet Union increased, marking the start of the Cold War. Truman was born in Missouri and spent most of his youth on his family's farm. During World War I, he served in combat in France as an artillery officer in his National Guard unit. After the war, he briefly owned a haberdashery and joined the Democratic Party political machine of Tom Pendergast in Kansas City, Missouri. Truman was first elected to public office as a county official and became a U.S. Senator in 1935. He gained national prominence as head of the wartime Truman Committee, which exposed waste, fraud, and corruption in wartime contracts.
3.哈里·S·杜魯門
哈里·S·杜魯門(1884年5月8日-1972年12月26日),美國民主黨政治家,第34任副總統(tǒng)(1945年),隨后接替因病逝世的富蘭克林·D·羅斯??偨y(tǒng),成為了第33任美國總統(tǒng)(1945年-1953年)。他也是一名共濟會成員。面對美國國內事務,杜魯門總統(tǒng)正好遇上新一輪混亂的經濟衰退周期,當時物資短缺、有無數(shù)罷工事件和有關否決《塔夫脫-哈特利法》的爭議,都是當代的寫照。杜魯門雖于1948年成功連任總統(tǒng),但卻未能成功掌握國會多數(shù),以致于他的“良政”計劃幾乎全部流產。然而他曾率先以行政命令在美軍內部施行廢除種族隔離,并因應形勢主持第二次“紅色恐慌”,從政府部門辭退了數(shù)以千計可能影響國政的共產黨同情者。不過,由于受到一連串財政丑聞打擊,有達數(shù)百位由他任命的官員必須辭職。
