Question

Which of the following policies was established by the Soviet Union in response to the U.S. policy described below? It is logical that the United States should do whatever it is able to do to assist in the return of normal economic health in the world, without which there can be no political stability and no assured peace. Our policy is directed not against any country or doctrine but against hunger, poverty, desperation, and chaos. 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. . . . Any government which maneuvers to block the recovery of other countries cannot expect help from us.1 — George Marshall, June 5, 1947
A. Molotov Plan
B. Marshall Plan
C. Truman Doctrine
D. Warsaw Pact
