Answer:
The Marshall plan helped prevent the turn to communism of Western Europe, which was a possiblity, especially in Italy and France, where communist parties where very strong.
The logic of the Marshall plan was to help rebuild and develop Western Europe, to show them the benefits of capitalism and a market economy, and prevent like that, the spread of communism from Eastern Europe.
This goal was achieved because no Western European country turned to communism since the end fo the World War, even when socialist and communist parties got to power.
The goal of the Berlin airlift was to prevent a shortage of goods in West Berlin after the Soviet Union blocked supplies to the city.
The Soviet Union wanted to force the US to abandon the city by blocking Berlin, since the Soviet Union dominated all areas sorrounding Berlin. However, the US was able to keep control of West Berlin by supplying the city through air.
Maintaining control of West Berlin was very important for the US for both strategic and symbolic reasons, and the success of the Berlin airlift was a crucial part of the strategy.

Niccolo Machiavelli was an official in the Florentine Republic from 1498 - 1512, during the years between the reign of the religious reformer Savanarola and the return of the Medici family to power in Florence. He carried out various diplomatic missions for Florence during those years and had responsibility for Florence's militia. But perhaps Machiavelli is most significant for his political writings, <em>The Prince </em>and <em>Discourses on Livy.</em>
Lorenzo de'Medici had ruled Florence for decades in a way that was popular. After Lorenzo's death in 1492, Dominican preacher Savonarola ran the city as a religious regime. Machiavelli's service in government occurred after Savonarola fell from power and was executed, and Florence operated very much as a republic. When the Medici family again seized power in Florence in 1512, Machiavelli lost his government post. He also was accused of conspiracy (a false charge). He was imprisoned and tortured, but after a few weeks was released. In exile from Florence, Machiavelli wrote <em>The Prince </em>as a way of praising the style of rule of princes like the Medici, in hopes of gaining favor with the new rulers of Florence. That didn't work, but <em>The Prince </em>has become a famous treatise in the field of political science. Machiavelli also wrote a lengthier work that extolled the virtues of a republic (closer to his own true views), <em>Discourses on Livy.</em>
