Truman Doctrine

      The Truman Doctrine came to be after Britain was unable to provide financial support to pro-democratic countries, usually surrounded by pro-Soviet countries. Truman instituted the Truman doctrine in order to help financially countries retain the pro-democratic stances. President Eisenhower invoked the Eisenhower Doctrine ten years after his predecessors Truman Doctrine. In 1947, President Truman asked congress for four hundred million dollars in order to prevent countries such as Turkey and Greece fall into communism. 
      Truman said it is the duty of the Unites States to help countries overthrow and stop communism. Therefore, he provided aid in the ways he sought fit since Britain could no longer provide support. The doctrine supported countries through economic means not so much through military action. Controversy was seen when that support for all countries was not economically possible such as the case with the Hungarian revolt under the Eisenhower doctrine.
Truman Doctrine
      Britain informed the United States it could no longer provide financial aid to Turkey and Greece. This was due since war world 1 had a lot of economic repercussions and Britain was widely affected. It was then that the idea of the United States responsibility to help countries to not fall into communism came to be. With the Truman Doctrine the Domino theory was created. Truman addressed the American people through the radio and gave extreme importance to a measure against communism.

In 1948, the Geneva Convention to discuss the treatment of prisoners of war and how countries were to conduct warfare. North Vietnamese did not follow the treatment of prisoners of war established by the Geneva Convention due to the fact the U.S. did not officially declare war. As a result, American prisoners of war were badly treated and considered pirates and air pirates. The Hanoi Hilton is the base of interrogation for the Vietnamese were cruel treatment was practiced. The Vietnamese practiced sensory deprivation and with that process were able to get information from the soldiers.
      However, American soldiers were trained and educated in military academies; their command was not to leak information unless the pain became unbearable. Being educated soldiers created a communication system in the prison with the basis of the Morse code. The soldiers then gave inaccurate information to their captors and were not caught. The Vietnamese believed the treatment worked and trusted the information. Some American soldiers lived in the Hanoi Hilton to up to 8 years and managed to survive using the communication system.

Primary Source
     The primary source is derived from the Geneva Convention which is supposed to ensure the treatment of prisoners of war is not brutal.It states that the enemy power is held responsible for the treatment of the prisoner and can be accused if an individual violates the Geneva Convention. It is the responsibility of the enemy power to return the custody of the prisoners if the convention is violated. The convention states no brutal treatment can be given to prisoners such as mutilation. The enemy power is also in charge of the health and medical fees of the prisoners. This was important because Vietnam violated the Geneva Convention;however, it was okay because the U.S. did not officially declare war against Vietnam.
