Question

Soon after World War II, the United States offered economic aid to European countries that had suffered during the conflict. This was called the European Recovery Program, or the Marshall Plan. Which of these best describes why the Marshall Plan caused economic conflict in the Cold War?

Answer 1

It was the Marshall Plan, are there other answer choices for the second part of the question?

Answer 2

Soviet Bloc nations did not receive any economic aid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Though the Marshall Plan did not specifically exclude Soviet nations from receiving aid, the program only gave it to European democracies. This caused economic conflict in the Cold War, as the United States attempted to strengthen European countries that were not under Soviet control.Though the Marshall Plan did not specifically exclude Soviet nations from receiving aid, the program only gave it to European democracies.
