The early Cold War policy that may have a significant impact on U.S.-Soviet relations was the Truman Doctrine. The Truman Doctrine claimed that they will assist other European countries either with supplies or the influence of democracy. This might have fueled the Soviet Union as they wanted to take control of weak or smaller European countries, but with the United States' assistance, it's almost impossible which may have angered the Soviet Union.

Martyna: I believe that the Truman Doctorine was the most significant on the U.S-Soviet relations because the policy stated it would provide supplies and aid to countries with communist threat. This created tension between the Soviet union and the U.S cause now the U.S was going against the Soviet spread of communism.

Anita Kuriakose: The early Cold War policy that may have a significant impact would be the Iron Curtain as it signaled the start of the war. This caused the division between both Eastern and Western Europe as both communism and capitalism places were both split. This also alerted people about the War and initiated them to choose a side.

I believe the Berlin Wall and Berlin Airlift had the most significant impact on U.S.-Soviet relations. It set the division between the U.S. allied, democratic Western European nations and the communist, Soviet-controlled Eastern European nations throughout the Cold War. The Berlin Wall showed the USSR's desire to control Berlin and the Berlin Airlift shows the U.S.'s defiance and dedication to prevent the spread of democracy. This was one of the first major time the two directly disagreed and defied each other.

I believe the Cold War policy that had the most significant impact on US-Soviet relations was the Truman Doctrine. The Doctrine said that the US would offer aid to any country threatened by Communist expansion, opposing Soviet Union views and spreading Democratic influence. This could raise tensions between the 2 nations.

I think the Truman Doctrine had the biggest impact on U.S.-Soviet relations during the early Cold War. In 1947, the U.S. promised to help countries fight communism, which angered the Soviet Union. It marked the start of the U.S. trying to stop communism from spreading, and the Soviets saw this as a direct threat. This made tensions between the two countries much worse and started the Cold War.
