Document Summary
Third world was used to describe developing countries and not aligned with the united states or soviet union. Senator joseph mccarthy was from wisconsin who built his career on trying to identify communists and attacking them verbally. David shine was taking off mccarthy"s staff and put into the army. Cohn pressured the army into giving shine special privileges. Mccarthy responded by saying that the army was doing this because they were being held hostage by communists and they were trying to stop mccarthy from exposing communists in the army. Mccarthyism- chasing after someone"s views in unwarranted ways. Keenan believed the soviets could not be trusted, did not sign his name on the document. The containment policy suggested in the document was then used in the marshall plan and truman. Keenan believed that any acts from the soviet to make deals with capitalist countries were not of peace but were in fact tactics.
