A statue of U.S President Harry Truman was donated to Athens by the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (one of the largest Greek-American groups) to honor the Truman Doctrine, which gave $2 billion in economic and military aid to the Greek government to fight off communist guerrillas in 1946 during the country's civil war. It has however been subjected to incidents of vandalism, including being toppled over at least 5 times, from anti-American protesters against past and present U.S foreign policy. According to a 2016 poll by Pew Research Center, 72% of Greek respondents associated Americans with arrogance and 68% associated them with greed; both percentages were slightly higher than the other 14 countries surveyed.
