Zusammenfassung:"In the aftermath of World War II, Europe's great cities were in ruins and its national economies devastated ... President Truman and his Secretary of State, George C. Marshall, understood the importance of rebuilding Europe, of helping Europe become strong and united. Spurred by this vision, United States Congress in 1948 approved a European Recovery Program, which quickly became known as the 'Marshall Plan.' Under that program, 13, 000 million dollars in U.S. economic and technical assistance was channeled into European reconstruction between 1948 and 1952 ... Sixteen countries participated in the Marshall Plan, with Britain the recipient of the largest portion of aid ... It should convince us, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the freedom and posterity of each of our peoples are ultimately in the best interests of all. The Marshall plan united us in those immediate postwar years and still cements our unity today"--Page 1
