Question 26 • World History CR

The goal of the United States in drawing up the Marshall Plan was to

Answer
A
support strong dictators who would lead Europe.
B
get Europeans to accept their continent’s division.
C
strengthen the economies of Europe.
D
invade Soviet-controlled Eastern Europe.

Explanation

The Marshall Plan provided U.S. financial aid to help rebuild European countries after World War II. A stronger European economy would reduce poverty and instability and make communism less appealing. Therefore, the goal was to strengthen the economies of Europe, not to invade the Soviet-controlled East or accept the continent’s division.
