Refer to the passage. "The peoples of a number of countries of the world have recently had totalitarian regimes forced upon them against their will. The Government of the United States has made frequent protests against coercion and intimidation, in violation of the Yalta agreement, in Poland, Rumania, and Bulgaria. I must also state that in a number of other countries there have been similar developments. At the present moment in world history nearly every nation must choose between alternative ways of life. The choice is too often not a free one. One way of life is based upon the will of the majority, and is distinguished by free institutions, representative government, free elections, guarantees of individual liberty, freedom of speech and religion, and freedom from political oppression. The second way of life is based upon the will of a minority forcibly imposed upon the majority. It relies upon terror and oppression, a controlled press and radio; fixed elections, and the suppression of personal freedoms. I believe that it must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures.” President Harry S. Truman, explaining what would become known as "the Truman Doctrine,” March 1947 In which of the following ways do the views expressed in the passage define the nature of the Cold War? Nations independently chose whether to embrace Soviet communism. The United States pledged to help other countries resist the spread of Soviet communism. The Soviet Union directed its military forces to actively resist capitalist expansion. The United States pressured the United Nations to arm rebel groups to fight against the Soviet Union.
