Use the quotation and your knowledge of social studies to answer the following questions. “as the free world grows stronger, more united, more attractive to men on both sides of the iron curtain—and as the soviet hopes for easy expansion are blocked—then there will have to come a time of change in the soviet world. nobody can say for sure when that is going to be, or exactly how it will come about, whether by revolution, or trouble in the satellite states, or by a change inside the kremlin.” —harry s. truman’s farewell address. why did president truman believe that political change would come to the soviet union?

The Cold War was a conflict between the Soviet Union and the United States. It was, for the most part, a difference in ideology, with the Soviet Union supporting communism, while the United States endorsed capitalism. Therefore, during those years, leaders paid great attention to both systems, and waited for one of them to demonstrate its superiority.

In this passage, Truman is arguing that capitalism is demonstrating to be superior. He argues that the capitalist world is stronger, more united and more attractive to everyone. He believes it is only a matter of time before this superiority is universally recognized. And once it is, there will be no other option for communist countries but to adopt capitalism and accept defeat. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before political change started happening in the Soviet Union.
