1. Introduction

The United States, like any other country in its political history, has had different directions in diplomacy and foreign policy. The US National Security Strategy, which is based on the doctrines proposed by the government's intellectual and instrumental elites at the domestic and international levels, has always been and will continue to guarantee the national interests and security of this country. American citizens have witnessed various national security strategies over the past two and a half centuries. (Motahari Nia, 2005: 28-27).

World War II marked a turning point in American history and the beginning of a fundamental shift in US foreign policy toward globalization. Although World War I did not completely overshadow the doctrine of the American continents, but the new war led the irreversible diplomatic behavior of the United States to withdraw from the closed sphere of the Monroe Doctrine. The new doctrine after World War II, which with the name of President Harry of Truman, became known as the Truman National Security Strategy, no longer has the ability to administrate any limits on the implementation of the expansionist menus of US foreign policy. The study seeks to examine and explain US national security strategies in the years following the end of World War II.
