Democracy.
Truman Efforts

due to famine and a bad economy so truman sent giant
mules that would help farming and sooner or later would

leader who had seized power in an armed revolt in 1959.This
made the united states look really bad.
● Traveled to Berlin (risky) and gave a speech that said “i'm a
Berliner” made the germans love him.
● approves sending 400 Special Forces troops and 100 other U.S.

Who had the most positive impact
Harry Truman was the president that made
the most positive impact because he helped
directly fighting against communism he also
took a creative approach with the air lift
avoiding ww3 and feeding thousands of
people. The truman doctrine helped two
countries avoid communism with mules(
mules are the best). So yea truman won
because the other candidate didn't take a
wise approach.
