Beran, Jiří ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Krček, Matěj (referee)
This bachelor thesis analyses the situation which ocurred on the field of foreign relations in the two-year period after the World War Two. The main subject of my interest is foreign policy practised by the United States between years 1945-1947. Immediate postwar enthusiasm of president F. D. Roosvelt towards the ongoing colaboration with the Soviet Union was replaced by Truman's much cautious approach. It was Kennan's "Long Telegram" which ment the definite deflection of the White House to consider Stalin as an ally. The friction between world-powers escalated in the first half of 1947. The Congress approved the aid for Greece and Turkey (Truman Doctrine) meaning the oncoming of containment. Following that and regarding the European situation which appeared as a key one for the future worldwide arrangement, the Marshall Plan was announced on the 5th June 1947. My thesis offers answers to the following questions. What stood on the background of the decisions thanks to them the United States have chosen this direction? Did any other alternatives exist? What were the concrete consequences of the new American foreign politics?
