Q

The Marshall Plan (who, what, why & how concerned show the USSR be?)

A

George Marshall was a US general. He claimed the the USA would need to donate £17 billion to Europe to help rebuild and to resolve hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos. He created the ERP (European Recovery Program).

In reality, George Marshall was donating £17 billion to European countries to prevent them from becoming communist.

The USSR should be very concerned as Marshall Aid is a direct act to prevent the spread of communism.
