Question:- How does Wallace’s description of American foreign policy compare to Truman’s and Novikov’s?

Answer

Henry Wallace, Harry Truman and Nikolai Novikov provided different viewpoints on American foreign policy in early cold war years. Wallace called for friendly cooperation with the Soviets, stating that the US had no reason to develop policies which could trigger conflict. He viewed US-Soviet cooperation as crucial for global peace and prosperity. Truman, on the other hand was at the center of common American ideals which saw Saint Soviet Union as an aggressive imperial power that posed a threat to USA and its associates. Truman advocated a policy of containment through military power and economic assistance that considered the Soviet Union as an ideological and security challenge. Novikov, being a Soviet official at that time viewed American foreign policy as aggressive and unfriendly with an intention of world domination contrary to the interests of the USSR. He accused the US of switching from a friendly cooperation to aggressive pro-Soviet policy. Though the three men differed significantly in their opinions, their worldviews shed light on the suspicions and rivalries that defined an early part of Cold War.
