Secretary of State Marshall suggested his plan to help rebuild European economies after World War as a way of staving off political instability and poverty conditions, which would become breeding grounds for governments that would go against freedom.
Explanation/context:
The "Marshall Plan" was named after the man who then was US Secretary of State, George C. Marshall. Officially the plan was called the European Recovery Program. Marshall announced the plan in 1947, and it went into effect in 1948. The intent was to provide aid and rebuilding to European economies after the damaging effects of World War II.
In his speech introducing the plan, Secretary Marshall presented the plan as aid for any and all nations, saying : "Our policy is not directed against any country, but against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos. Any government that is willing to assist in recovery will find full co-operation on the part of the United States. Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist." <em>[I provided more context for the quote you had shown, to see more of his intent in the remarks.]</em>
The view in the communist-controlled Eastern bloc was that the US was trying to use such a policy to spread its influence and threaten their patterns of government under communism. So the plan ended up building allies for the US in Western Europe, while the Eastern European countries sided with the Soviet Union. So it was an example of Cold War tactics of competition between the US and the USSR, apart from the use of military force.
Answer:The Union's advantages as a large industrial power and its leaders' political skills contributed to decisive wins on the battlefield and ultimately victory against the Confederates in the American Civil War.

<u>The investment rate is an accounting identity that reflects the percentage of investment in the product of an economy.</u> It is, therefore, a measure that is strongly associated with the performance of the economy. At times when the investment rate is high, production is high. The reverse is true.
The graph shows that in a downturn in investment, reflecting the 2008 crisis, the economy shrank in 2009. As the investment rate recovered, the economy followed the same path.
In other words, we can say that investment is an important economic indicator.
Hades, Hera, Persephone, Zeus, Apollo, Artemis, Hestia, Poseidon, Hermes, Iris, Dionysus, Aphrodite, Ares, Hesphestus, Demeter, Athena - Zeus, Hera, Aphrodite, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Poseidon, Hermes, Dionysus, Hesphestus, Ares, and Demeter are the major 12 though, sometimes I believe that Hades is included, but I'm not positive.
