Marshall Plan · US History

In the context of the Marshall Plan, 'interdependence' meant that:

  1. Europe should always be completely dependent on American charity forever
  2. U.S. prosperity was tied to Europe's economic health and stability
  3. The U.S. would eventually become an economic colony of Britain
  4. All countries would abandon oil entirely in favor of coal power
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: U.S. prosperity was tied to Europe's economic health and stability

Marshall and others argued that the U.S. could not remain a prosperous island in a world of economic ruin. A recovered Europe would provide a market for U.S. goods and a partner in global stability.
