How was the united states' policy of containment related to the Marshall plan?
serious [3.7K]

The correct answer is letter choice D) The United States believed that the economic aid provided by the Marshall Plan would help contain the spread of Communism.

The Marshall Plan was a law passed after World War II. This plan was introduced by Secretary of State George C. Marshall. This plan was focused around giving money to countries that suffered severe damage during World War II. The goal of providing this money was to help America make allies and to help each country rebuild their infrastructure. This aid to countries like Great Britain and France would help them recover from World War II and would allow them to keep in place their capitalist type system. This means that communism would not spread, achieving America's goal of containment.
