Harry S Truman, the politics of Yalta, and the domestic origins of the Truman Doctrine

"Events in 1946 marked a pivotal turning point in the development of Cold War tensions. Both Stalin and Truman abandoned accommodationism in favor of a more aggressive foreign policy approach. U.S. activity in the Mediterranean, Iran, Europe, and Southeast Asia clearly indicated that lines of containment had been drawn. Most historians agree, however, that the American public still lacked interest in foreign affairs at this critical juncture. Bread and butter politics dominated the 1946 campaign agenda and subsequently this election continues to be labelled the ""beefsteak election."""
