 Created by Henry Truman which included giving money to Greece, they gave up their isolationist approach and became fully involved in European affairs.

TRUMAN DOCTRINE

MARSHALL PLAN

In June 1947, the American general George Marshall went to Europe.  He said every country in Europe was so poor that it was in danger of turning Communist!  Europe was ‘a breeding ground of hate’.

He said that America should give $17 billion of aid to get Europe’s economy going and stop Communism.

Marshall said that it was up to the countries of Europe to decide what they needed.   In July 1947, led by Britain and France, the countries of western Europe met in Paris, and asked for substantial economic aid.
