Don Quijote- Modern Novel

            The aftermath of World War left the whole of Europe in shambles. Cities were demolished, people were displaced, and governments were weakened. Even though the Allied forces had won the war, they now were faced with the enormous feat of rebuilding Europe. The United States played a major role in promoting economic and military security in Western Europe during the 1940's and 1950's. .
             To stimulate economic growth within Western Europe, the United States implemented the Marshall Plan. Also known as the European Recovery Program, the Marshall Plan gave over $13 billion to finance the economic recovery of Europe between 1948 and 1951. The Marshall Plan successfully sparked economic recovery, meeting its objective of "restoring the confidence of the European people in the economic future of their own countries and of Europe as a whole." The plan was implemented by then Secretary of State George C. Marshall. The United States offered aid to any country who asked for it; however most of Eastern Europe refused the aid. The Soviet Union was very suspicious of the United States and their programs. They viewed the Marshall Plan as an attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of other states and refused to participate. The Soviets also prevented Poland and Czechoslovakia from taking part, despite their eagerness to do so.
             To promote military security, the United States was instrumental in creating the both the United Nations and NATO. The United Nation was designed as a peacekeeping force and a forum in which countries could discuss ideas and problems. After seeing the failure of the League of Nations to be able to prevent World War II, the United States and other European nations were determined to make the United Nations work. NATO was a military alliance that was formed to stand up to the Communist threat in the east. It essentially stated that an attack on any of the countries in the alliance was an attack on all of them.
