After World War 2 the Cold War began and caused tension throughout the world. The USA and the USSR were the two world Superpowers. The USA was a capitalist society with a democracy. The USSR was a communist country with a dictatorship. Both wanted to be the most powerful nation in the world.

7 Marshall Plan In 1947, US Secretary of State Marshall announced the Marshall Plan. This was a massive economic aid plan for Europe to help it recover from the damage caused by the war. Two motives for this: Helping Europe to recover economically would provide markets for American goods, so benefiting American industry. A prosperous Europe would be better able to resist the spread of communism. This was probably the main motive. This move is not against any country or doctrine, but against hunger, poverty, desperation, and chaos. A poster promoting the Marshall Plan Secretary of State George Marshall.

Truman Doctrine [1947] 1.Civil War in Greece in Turkey under pressure from the USSR for concessions = communism. 3.They appealed to America for help. The Truman Doctrine- America promised it would support free countries to help fight communism. communism. 4.The U.S. gave Greece & Turkey $400 million in aid so they could resist communism.
