Question

Soon after World War II, the United States offered economic aid to European countries that had suffered during the conflict. This was called the European Recovery Program, or the Marshall Plan. Which of these best describes why the Marshall Plan caused economic conflict in the Cold War?

Answer 1

The Marshall plan was a plan to give economic aid to countries that needed money to rebuild after the war. The idea behind the aid was that if the countries received money from the U.S. to rebuild then they were less likely to become communist countries and more likely to become democratic.

Answer 2

Answer:

Soviet Bloc nations did not receive any economic aid.

Explanation:

Though the Marshall Plan did not specifically exclude Soviet nations from receiving aid, the program only gave it to European democracies. This caused economic conflict in the Cold War, as the United States attempted to strengthen European countries that were not under Soviet control.
