the marshall plan was strictly so europe would stay loyal to the united states following the war. if the soviets hadn't been around, there would have been no need for it and europe probably would have stayed in the stone age following the massive bombing campaigns carried out during the war.
Yeah ,.. no ,... Marschall Pact isn't that important,... Turkey got more Marschall Pact money then Germany ... It was a little kick that was helpfull , but its arrogant to assume that Europe would not have rebuild without it. Look at the restaurations in Kobane or Aleppo , and they dont have no Marschall Pact , they are under world wide sanctions...and still.. . people tear down and rebuild allways...
