Answer:

Going out on a limb here and assuming you're speaking about the end of WWII.

Explanation:

At the end of WWII, most of Europe was destroyed due to the war. The two main superpowers that emerged were Russia and the United States. There was a lot of discussion about dividing up Europe into colonies but the United States didn't want any part of that. Instead, General and later Secretary of State George Marshall devised what was later called the Marshall Plan.

Under the Marshall Plan, the United States gave over $12 billion to the European countries affected by WWII to help them reestablish their economies and rebuild their nations. This even included our enemies, such as Germany and Italy. The goal was that if they could rebuild and be influenced by captialism, then democracies might have a chance of spreading. These discussions were held at the Paris Accords and of course, Russia was against it. Russian leader Stalin tried to kill the Marshall Plan then when he realized that couldn't be done, he tried to take credit for some or even all of it's successes.

Back in the United States, our Congress which at the time was controlled by the Republicans, put forth a bill called the Economic Cooperation Act of 1948. President Truman signed the Act into law and the ECA was funded and implemented. To protect the integrity of the program, the money wasn't given directly to the participating countries. Instead, it was managed by local authorities who had to account for every single penny.

In addition to receiving help to rebuild their economy and their infrastructure, the participating European countries also received direct technical assistance from the United States to help bring new industries and businesses into Europe. All in all 17 countries took advantage of the program and were helped.

Explanation:

1- Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States of America, occupying the position between 1801 and 1809. He is considered one of the Founding Fathers of the nation.

His eminence is given because he was the principal author of the Declaration of Independence of the United States of 1776. Jefferson was one of the most influential Founding Fathers, known for his promotion of the ideals of republicanism in the United States.

Jefferson was a leader and co-founder with James Madison of the Democratic-Republican Party, which dominated American politics for 25 years. In addition, he was the governor of Virginia during the War of Independence (1779-1781), the first secretary of state (1789-1793) and second vice president of the United States (1797-1801).

2- Alexander Hamilton was an economist, statesman, politician, writer, lawyer, and first secretary of the Treasury of the United States. He was one of the founding fathers of the United States. He was an influential interpreter and promoter of the Constitution of the United States, as well as the founder of the nation's financial system, the Federalist Party, the United States Coast Guard and The New York Post. As the first Secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton was the principal author of the economic policies of the George Washington administration.

3- James Madison was an American politician, political theorist, and the fourth president of the United States. He is considered one of the most influential of the "Founding Fathers of the United States" for his contribution to the drafting of the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights, to the extent that he is nicknamed "The Father of the Constitution". Breaking ties with Hamilton and the Federalist Party in 1791, he and Thomas Jefferson organized the Democratic-Republican Party, as a way to counteract the economic policies that Hamilton took as Secretary of the Treasury.

4- John Jay was an American politician and jurist, first president of the Supreme Court of the United States. He served as ambassador in Madrid and London. He negotiated the Jay Treaty with Great Britain in 1794.

5- Thomas Pinckney was an American soldier, politician and diplomat.  In 1795 he was appointed extraordinary envoy to the Madrid court, to negotiate the 1795 Treaty of Madrid with Spain.

7- Edmond-Charles Genet was a French diplomat. As French Ambassador to the United States at the time of the French Revolution, he unleashed a diplomatic and political crisis in 1793 when he tried to influence US policy on neutrality in favor of France.

8- Edmund Randolph was an American lawyer and politician. He was the seventh governor of Virginia, the second secretary of state and the first attorney general of the United States.
