C. It persuaded France and Spain to become allies. The Battle of Saratoga in 1777 is considered a turning point in the American Revolutionary War. Before the battle, the continental army rarely engaged in open battles with the British, instead using guerrilla tactics and secret ambushes in skirmish fights in the beginning of the war. The continental army needed foreign aid if it wanted to win the war against the much more professionally organized British army. France and Spain were rivals with Britain, but needed proof that the colonists may take on the British army in an open battle if it wanted to join the war on the colonists' side. The continental army had the opportunity to do so at the Battle of Saratoga in upstate New York, and successfully drove back British forces from Canada in open combat, allowing the French and Spanish to join the war against Britain.

What action did the Allied countries take after the war to help people who had been hurt by World War II?

Julli [10]

Answer:The Marshall Plan, also known as the European Recovery Program, was a U.S. program providing aid to Western Europe following the devastation of World War II. It was enacted in 1948 and provided more than $15 billion to help finance rebuilding efforts on the continent. The brainchild of U.S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall, for whom it was named, it was crafted as a four-year plan to reconstruct cities, industries and infrastructure heavily damaged during the war and to remove trade barriers between European neighbors—as well as foster commerce between those countries and the United States.

In addition to economic redevelopment, one of the stated goals of the Marshall Plan was to halt the spread communism on the European continent.

Implementation of the Marshall Plan has been cited as the beginning of the Cold War between the United States and its European allies and the Soviet Union, which had effectively taken control of much of central and eastern Europe and established its satellite republics as communist nations.

The Marshall Plan is also considered a key catalyst for the formation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), a military alliance between North American and European countries established in 1949.
