U.S. Secretary of State Marshall explains his plan to help European countries rebuild after WWII. "I need to say that the world situation is very serious.... Europe must have a great deal of additional help, or face heavy economic, social, and political damage. This would have a harmful effect on the world at large.

The United States should do whatever it can to help restore normal economic health to the world. Without this, there can be no political stability or peace. Our policy is directed... against hunger, poverty, desperation and chaos (disorder]. Its purpose is to revive a working economy in the world." 3.

![Winston Churchill's "Iron Curtain" speech, March 5, 1946
"From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the continent.
Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe. ... All these famous
cities and the populations around them lie in the Soviet sphere and all are subject in one form or another,
not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and increasing measure of control from Moscow.

Winston Churchill's "Iron Curtain" speech, March 5, 1946
The Communist parties, which were very small in these Eastern European nations, have been raised to
power far beyond their numbers and are seeking everywhere to obtain totalitarian control. Police
governments are prevailing in nearly every case, and so far, except in Czechoslovakia, there is no true
democracy. This is certainly not the liberated Europe we fought to build up. Nor is it one which contains
the essentials of permanent peace.
