In this episode, we’ll delve into the impact of the Marshall Plan, particularly in Eastern Europe, where the Soviet Union condemned it as "dollar imperialism" and actively blocked Eastern Bloc nations from participating. However, Yugoslavia defied Stalin by accepting aid, marking a key Cold War divide. We’ll also explore the debate among historians on whether the plan led to the Americanisation of Europe, with countries like France selectively adapting American culture rather than fully embracing it. Lastly, we’ll examine how the desire to compete with US economic dominance contributed to the creation of the European common market. Join us as we uncover the complex economic and political legacy of the Marshall Plan.
