Question

How was the Marshall Plan designed to restore Europe in ways that discouraged the advance of Communism in Eastern Europe?

Answer 1

The Marshall Plan is a policy carried out by US which directly send loans to Western European nations. The western european countries suffered much loss after wwii,such as having their infrastructures destroyed,and there were a lack of labour due to death and injures. The nations were left vulnerable,which might then fall into the control of USSR. Lest the European nations falling into the control of communism, the capital provided in the Marshall Plan was provided to help the European Nations to restore the economy,which could make them more resistance towards USSR. In the Marshall Plan,nations that recieved aids were requested to increase trade with US with open market,this promoted their own ideology,capitalism and discouraged the advance of Communism.
