Discussion: Marshall Plan
George C. Marshall, the Secretary of State, presented The Marshall Plan, also Known as the European Recovery Plan (ERP), at Harvard University on June 5, 1947. The main objective of the plan was to provide European countries substantial economic aid in order to prevent the collapse of their governments before the Soviets.
What was the Marshall Plan? Which countries did it help? Why it was so important for the United States? Did this plan build a strong economic base in Europe after World War II?
