The Marshall Plan, known officially following its enactment as the European Recovery Program(ERP), was the primary plan of the United States to promote the recovery of Europe and to advance American foreign and domestic economic policies after World War II. The initiative was named for United States Secretary of State George Marshall and was largely the creation of State Department officials, especially William L. Clayton and George F. Kennan. The reconstruction plan was developed at a meeting of the participating European States in July 1947. The Soviet Union and the states of Eastern Europe were invited, but Stalin saw the plan as a threat and did not allow the participation of any countries under Soviet control. The plan was in operation for four fiscal years beginning in July 1947.

OBS

Le plan Marshall fut un des plans de reconstruction de l'Europe après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, connu officiellement après son élaboration comme Programme de rétablissement européen (European Recovery program ou ERP). Le plan Morgenthau qui prévoyait de faire payer les réparations par l'Allemagne fut écarté par l'administration Truman : on se souvenait des effets désastreux d'une telle politique après la Première Guerre mondiale (la question des réparations allemandes avait en partie permis l'ascension de Hitler). L'initiative fut baptisée, par les journalistes, du nom du secrétaire d'État américain, le général George Marshall, qui, lors d'un discours à l'université Harvard (5 juin 1947) exposa la volonté du gouvernement des États-Unis de contribuer au rétablissement de l'Europe. Le Président Harry Truman signe le plan Marshall le 3 avril 1948.

El 20 de junio de 1947, el entonces secretario de Estado de EE.UU., en un discurso pronunciado en la Universidad de Harvard, propuso a todos los países europeos la posibilidad de recibir ayuda estadounidense, para salir de la situación de grave postración económica en que se encontraban desde el final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La aceptación por los países occidentales de Europa de tal oferta, puso en marcha el «Plan de Recuperación Económica Europea», más conocido como Plan Marshall, que entre 1948 y 1952 suministró a tales países - de entre los cuales solamente se excluyó a España - alrededor de 20.000 millones de dólares en materias primas, alimentos y equipo industrial.

The Ambassador-at-Large. One of the problems recognized by the Hoover Commission was the necessity for the Secretary of State or the Under Secretary to attend numerous international conferences requiring long continued absences from the Department. For example, Secretary Byrnes spent 350 out of his 562 days as Secretary of State in international conferences. To remedy this situation there was created on March 2, 1949, the Office of Ambassador-at-Large who could assist the Secretary in important international negotiations as well as attend important conferences abroad when an experienced representative of high rank was required.

A form of state in which the government is controlled by a single political party (the communist party) with possible insignificant participation of other (harmless) political parties in a form of coalition, and one that pursues policies, domestic and foreign, in accordance with directives provided by the Soviet Government and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU).

CONT

This form of state was designed by former Premier of the Soviet Government and the Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union(CPSU), Joseph Stalin, for states that had fallen under Soviet control at the end of the Second World War, namely Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, and Rumania. The form of "people's democracy" is, according to Stalin, a transitory one, from capitalism to socialism, short of socialist revolution.
