Question: The Marshall Plan was proof that the U.S. did NOT learn the lesson from the mistreatment of Germany in the Treaty of Versailles.
Answer: The correct answer is: False.
Step-by-step explanation: The Treaty of Versailles failed but The Marshall Plan was a huge success. Some people called it ''A miracle''.
The Treaty of Versailles was s peace plan signed after World War I, in the year of 1919. It was held in Paris and the treaty was signed between Germany and the Allies. The treaty did many things, including: obligating Germany to pay reparations, formally announcing total war responsibility on Germany and its allies, reducing the German army and giving part of its territory to the new nations of Eastern Europe. Germany accepted the treaty and it became effective in 1920. However, this treaty failed due to the weak German economy. This made it impossible for Germany to pay reparations, so they paid a small percentage. Finally, when the German economy was at its lowest, they stopped paying the reparations and the plan failed.
When World War II ended, Europe was devastated and millions of people were killed. This started The Marshall Plan, a European recovery program. It was the United States plan for rebuilding and creating a stronger foundation for Western Europe, (Great Britain, France, West Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Belgium.) The plan began in 1947 and was in operation for four years. During that time, 17 billions of dollars were given to help the recovery of the European countries. Four years later, Western European industries were producing twice as much as they had been producing the year before the World War.
