The primary reason that the US started the Marshell plan was because of the USSR. They were afraid that communisme would spread through Europe and damage the western culture but the USSR didn't pose a threat to the western world at this time. But the americans were to afraid to see so they started the Marshall plan to stop it. This were a big threat to the USSR so off course they will try to stop. The Marshall plan just started a chainreaction that increased the conflict between the US and USSR
Marshall also made sure that the aid had to be spent in the US - so in fact it was also a huge mechanism by which the US ensured US economic domination continued long after the end of the war. It wasn't all altruism and it destroyed some South American economies. Don't American kids get taught the truth in school?
I stumbled accross this video looking for a bit more informative video as to help me with my university presentation...but you covered the important stuff and the music woke me up at this insane time in the morning :)
i struggle to see why america had a fit because there was diffrernt way of goverment to theres (yes i know not being able to make money) but atleast everyone had a job
as a teacher of history I am always looking for good vids on youtube to show to my students. I think this is really good, and am trying to figure out how to use it in my classroom. (I teach in the bronx NY, but am from your side of the "pond" and trained to teach thru the GCSE and A levels) I wish it went a little slower to give students a little time to digest the cartoons etc. that way it would be a great teaching tool. Hope you got an A!!
Truman Doctrine was about the Greek civil war due to Stalin's suport to the Greek communist's to install a communist tyrany.
Greece was given to "be protected" by the Great Britain in Yalta, but the ex Great but now just Britain was desperetly wanted US help to rebuild its economy and so Greece was "sold" to the USA.
WWII and civil war sent Greece back to the 19th century, just like the last 35 years of parlamentary "democracy" destroyed our economy and are about to bankropt us!
heyya im studying the cold war for my a levels... was looking for ways of revising and decided on watching videos on you tube. this video really halped with a couple of things i needed to revise thank you!
Bush thinks he will be vindicated because historians have given Harry Truman a thumbs up on his presidency. You historians are assholes...as an example...what about the 1000s that died in hurricane katrina...maybe one of them would have a cure for cancer? And honestly...do I want the world to be better a 1,000 years from now? A tourist from Alabama going on a trip to Mars will be banging the stewardess, not "thanking" us or Bush, for defeating terrorism.
- in the Truman doctrine the US promised to help all "free" countries who were threatened a) by their own (e.g. civil wars) or b) by other states, which means: communism
but still a nice video, maybe the music is a bit to "happy" ;)
Nice video. I wich I would have seen ti before I wrote a paper on it. You make histoy more fun. Ceep making these nice, fun and easy undersandebal videos. One negative puint of vevw is that I would have loved if the texts were to bee seen a bit longer time. Thanks for posting. Have an nice day.

What are the impacts of the Marshall Plan in the Cold War? (Politically? Economically? Ideologically? Security?)
The Marshall Plan was also extended to Eastern European countries?
