Biography of John Steinbeck John Steinbeck was born in Salinas, California in 1902. He spent most of his life in Monterey County, which is the setting for much of his fiction.
President Truman agreed to aid Franceâs efforts to regain control over Vietnam because he Select one: a. supported the spread of colonialism. b. feared the spread of communism in Southeast.
Surprisingly, this plot is actually similar to what happened with the Truman Doctrine. The Truman Doctrine was issued by President Harry S. Truman in 1947. In this doctrine, President Truman said that the United States would go to whatever lengths possible to contain the spread of communism and stop the United States' former ally, the Soviet Union. So, just like in the movie, the Truman Doctrine said the United States would pull out all the stops to ruin the plans of its former friend. Historical Background
