Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan

Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan

Assess the contention of a US diplomat that the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan were “different sides of the same walnut”.
This assignment is a 3500 words essay on the course diplomacy and statecraft. An in depth analysis of both the Truman doctrine and the marshal plan will be needed in order to asses the proposed contention. Major strategies and ideologies such as the policy of containment must be addressed. the time frame is very important in this essay, you should ONLY focus on the early 1950’s to 1960. please do not exceed this time frame as the essay will not be as required.

The quote is from Truman, who may have borrowed it from the head of Policy Planning Staff, George F. Kennan. It refers to the policy of containment. As the Truman doctrine set military limits for Soviet expansion in Greece and Northern Iran, the Marshall Plan posed an economic challenge to the Soviets. By inviting the East European states to participate in the European Recovery Plan, the US administration undermined the Soviet Union’s control of these new satellite states and even attempted to ‘roll back’ Soviet expansion in Europe. I attach an article on the Marshall Plan, which may be helpful.

 

please maintain focus only on the question, I appreciate brevity not waffle. finally it is preferred that you use books published in England as it would be easier to find them. emphasis should be given to books and journals, please dont use many websites.

 

the instructions are very clear, if there is any question inform me asap as i dont have time to start the whole unproductive reviewing process.
