The <u>Marshall Plan</u> (originally called the European Recovery Program, ERP) was announced by George Marshall, who was the United States Secretary of State in 1947.

The purpose of this plan was to <u>help economically the European countries after the end of the Second World War</u> and to <u>prevent the growth of the communist </u>movement that was gaining ground in post-war <u>Occidental Europe. </u>

Russia (then called the Soviet Union) immediately declined aid and ordered its allied countries to decline as well, considering it an imperialist strategy to seize the country's economic independence.

However, 18 countries accepted this aid, which was approved by the US Congress in April 1948 and lasted for 5 years:

<h2>West Germany, Austria, Belgium and Luxembourg, Denmark, France, Greece, Ireland, Iceland, Italy and Trieste, Norway, the Netherlands, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey. </h2><h2> </h2>

It should be noted that Spain, which was under Franco's dictatorship, was excluded from the recovery plan.

Which action did reformer miguel Trujillo take to expand civil rights

avanturin [10]

Answer:

When Miguel Trujillo, from Isleta Pueblo and a veteran of the Marine Corps during World War II, went to register to vote, he was told by the county registrar, Eloy Garley, that he could not register since he was an Indian living on a reservation.Trujillo was incensed. He brought suit against the county registrar and won. (Trujillo v. Garley) Felix Cohen, who had written the definitive book on Indian law, the Handbook of Federal Indian Law, was Trujillo’s attorney. Finally, in 1948, Indians in New Mexico could vote for the first time. Trujillo and Cohen became friends and worked on other issues of civil rights in New Mexico and in the South.The case also debunked the myth that Indians did not pay taxes. The only taxes Indians did not pay, the court said, was taxes on the land the government held in trust for them. They had to pay sales taxes, income taxes, and all other taxes.
