The Marshall Plan rebuilt European countries' economies after the devasation of World War II.
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. Eastern bloc countries, however, rejected the plan, so it ended up as a plan that benefited Western European nations and not Eastern European nations.
In his speech introducing the plan, Secretary Marshall had said: "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."
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.

“You are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by all, shown to be a letter of Christ... written not in ink but by the Spirit of the living God." (2 Corinthians 3:2-3) means:
The saints who are now transformed by the Spirit of God, the product and result of the gospel the apostles preached and have become dear and recommendable by the apostles are now the Bible(epistle) that people see and read.
This particular passage reveals:
1. The people that received transformation- the saints
2. The power behind their transformation - the Spirit of God
3. The preachers that brought the transformation - the apostles
4. The product (result) of their transformation - they became epistles read by all
Answer:
volksgeist
Explanation:
Reichstag was a place, not a belief.
Nationalism could be true of any country. It is the belief of in one's country whether that country is right or wrong. It is perhaps the second best answer.
Humanism is characterized by the belief in individual goodness. That is not exactly what the description wants.
The answer is volksgeist which is of a higher nature than just nationalism and it is a more general term. It means the spirit of a country as defined by the spirit of the country.
