June 5, 1947
A Soviet-backed uprising put communists in control of Czechoslovakia. Alarmed by the Soviet aggression Congress approved the Marshall Plan.
The Marshall Plan began in 1948 and ended in 1951. It was originally scheduled to end in 1953, but Congress ended it early due to the cost of the Korean War and growing conservative opposition to the plan.
The Korean War was the reason for the plan's early termination. With the increasing costs of the Korean War, Truman was no longer able to get Congress to agree to continue to fund the Marshall Plan.
No, Congress did not see the need to send Greece and Turkey aid. Truman argued that if they were not given aid by the U.S, they may fall to communism.
The violence of the whiskey rebellion had alarmed them.
To meet this emergency, Secretary of State George Marshall proposed in a speech at Harvard University on June 5, 1947, that European nations create a plan for their economic reconstruction and that the United States provide economic assistance.
