All Doctrines
-
Carter
After the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Carter stated that the Americans would repel any threat to the USA, with force, in the Persian Gulf, if necessary
Reagan
Stricter form of the Truman Doctrine - the USA would not only support governments, but also anti-Communist groups
-
Khrushchev
Once he emerged as Stalin's successor, he was quick to critisice Stalin's policies, and promoted co-operation with the West
However, it was not to be; the Hungarian Uprising was crushed a few years later, despite Khrushchev's reassurance
Ultimatum
Issued first to Eisenhower in 1958, and later to Kennedy in 1961, at the Vienna summit
Demanded that Berlin be demilitarised, and become a free city - or else hand over control of the routes into East Germany's hands; a clever move, as it'd force the West to acknowledge its existance
Brezhnev (1968)
Stated that the actions of any individual nation affected all Communist countries - and thus, if they threatened others, the others would prevent them (i.e. the Warsaw Pact would invade)
-
Gorbachev (1985)
Proposed perestroika and glasnost - reforming the Soviet economy, and increased 'openness' (less corruption, more freedom of speech etc.)
