The Marshal Plan also known as the European Recovery Program (ERP) was an American program that gave aid to Europe where the United States gave support to help rebuild the European economy After World War 2 to prevent the spread of Soviet communism.
True. After World War II, the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin reaffirmed its commitment to spreading communism globally. They believed that the expansion of communism was necessary for the security and survival of the Soviet Union and that it would ultimately lead to the establishment of a worldwide communist society. This resulted in the Cold War and the division of the world into two ideological blocs, with the Soviet Union actively supporting and promoting communist movements and governments around the world.
The rebuilding of European nations after World War II, particularly through the Marshall Plan, helped to stabilize economies and foster political stability, thereby reducing the appeal of communism. By providing financial aid and promoting economic recovery, the U.S. aimed to create prosperous, democratic societies that could resist communist ideologies. Stronger economies and democratic governance diminished the socio-economic conditions that often led to the rise of communism, thereby helping to contain its spread in Western Europe.
