Question

Which of these was NOT a component of the Marshall Plan?

Answer 1

Answer:

C) the creation of a unified European currency to facilitate.

Explanation:

The Marshall Plan was a plan sponsored by the US to recover Europe following WWII. The main reason for the plan was that the US feared that poverty, unemployment, and dislocation after the War would be a danger to democracy and fertile land for the communist parties to develop. This is why the US planned to aid those European countries, so they could stop the communist party from spreading. The plan had a series of components but the creation of a unified European currency was not one of them.

Answer 2

The Marshall Plan helped rebuild the cities and economies of Europe after the devastation of World War II. Along with the establishment of NATO, it assisted the restoration of a stable political structure on the continent. The Marshall plan was intended to help the European economies recover and thus prevent these crushed and demoralized countries resist the spread of Russian Communism. By 1951 most of the non-comunist states had exceeded the economic out put of just before the war. At this point the Marshall aid plan was replaced with Mutual Security plan.
