ah the marshall plan, the perfect tool for some1 to spend the money of america to help the destroyed countries of europe.. oh and in the same time to gain control over these countries.
Lets see my country has lost most of its infostructures, its economy is devastated and a suposed ally offers me help in a situation that all help is welcomed.
So u accept the help wich includes receiving some free goods and the rest of the help to be repaid in any way possible.
@e0o9kii you're wrong, the Soviets would have been defeated or backed down if they had pushed further into Europe, as the balance of power between them and the US in mid-1945 was clearly in favour of the Americans. Don't forget the USSR only acquired nuclear weapons in 1949 and in in 1945 they knew there was nothing they could do against the US. Your last sentence can't be serious. If Germans and Poles hate a country that has to be RUSSIA. Britain and France don't love Russia, that's nonsense
Go watch the video of Robert McNamara admitting the the US war on Vietnam (3,400,000 Vietnamese deaths in their fight for independence) really was a "mistake". So were is the "Marshall Plan for Vietnam" to pay for war reparations, rehabilitate the country, atone for that VAST war crime? Hollywood will wipe away all traces of US guilt? No! The world won't let it happen.
Vast amounts of what is shown here as "milk for children" was really used for finance wars by the recipient nations. Vast amounts of the "food aid" -- needed because food imports had been FORBIDDEN by US JCS 1067 (Morgenthau starvation) -- were stolen by US officer brass who sold it at immense profits on the black market. More starvation to enrich US military officers. Marshall Plan? More economic oppression and US imperialism. Disgusting whitewash video. Lies and more lies.
There are few more ridiculous vids that this one which uses all the propaganda buzzwords of "the two aggressor nation" to start the guilt trip and then the heroic americans coming to the poor victimized and even treating the defeated with generosity. What utter BUNK. The US with the Versailles nonsense carried a HUGE responsibility for the breakout of WW2. The Post ww2 STARVATION (Morgenthau Plan) of German civilians showed the REAL face of America..
@e0o9kii are you like 5. i doubt you speak for the whole country. there were people literally dying to escape communism. nobody loved the Russians. only idiots like you think they loved the soviets
Soviet Union had no need in that kind of help. It worked brilliantly in the next 5 years after 1945. The Marshall Plan was planned to keep the Western Europe under further control on the behalf of USA and its jewish bankers.
@myjanuary151987 Not true, all the European countries that accepted the Marshall Plan were doing extremely well by 1955 and now these countries are the richest in Europe: Germany, France etc....
By 1988 the Soviet Union was country filled with misery, anger, hungry people and mass poverty. It collapsed like a domino. The US did not even fire a single bullet. History belongs to the winners and always will.
@md991free USSR opposed to the whole world and failed up to 1991, but It had balls of steel. In fact, real bullshit history belongs to those who rob Africa and America, who got machine guns and kill badly equipped rebellians. European countries bought oil from USSR and still do it now. Remember that.
The Marshall Plan was a necessary decision borne out of the experience of WW1. However, as in our country, successive generations brought up in "relative" peace and prosperity with ample access to food, water, and healthcare, not to mention topless beaches, hashish bars and sex clubs (Euro)become genetically imprinted that tomorrow will always be like today and true sacrifice to preserve your "culture" is a romantic idea relegated to textbooks and films only.
That's where our money has gone for the last half century, protecting the Europeans with American taxpayer dollars while they rebuild their "social democracies", including socialized medicine. Two and three generations later Europeans don't even know their own story and believe post counterculture "Euro humanism" (relativism) can defeat all evil without sacrifice.
@exrock712 The Marshall plan was nothing more than a smart socio-economic policy that protected America from the threat of Soviet Russia.
Relativism is a relevant theory of political sociology that provides more answers than any orthodox theory ever did.
We do know out own story but we may choose to perceive it differently and we have that right, its called democracy and freedom thought, ideas that America has proudly promoted if not instituted since its coming into existence!
The (Neo) Marxist sociology of the post war Frankfurt School is quite evident in European society at all levels. Two post war generations of indoctrinated children have achieved the desired goal whereby a recent survey of youth under 18 in Berlin did not know who put up the Wall or why. One respondent thought the Nazis put it up. Not to single them out however, dilectical critical theory is mainstay in American academia and I doubt American kids could do much better.
@exrock712 you may also note that all your money has gone into nuclear weapons, wars that have no meaning and funding organisations that have destroyed the lives of many american people for being "communists". I'm so proud to be Australian :)
