Question: Could the US and the Soviet Union have avoided the Cold War?
The Truman Doctrine (1947) was a chance to avoid the cold war. If the Soviets knew that the US passed this act so that communism wouldn't dominate the world, then it wouldn't make them feel unsettled or think the US wanted to destroy communism completely. It could reduce tension between them.
The National Security Act (1947) was a chance to avoid the cold war. In the CIA, people in different countries helped collect and analyze information. This could ease tensions between the two superpowers since the countries would more easily understand the reason why one did what they did.
