Answer: As the power of capitalism increased in Europe, Stalin's power in the Soviet Union would decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Marshall Plan was Truman´s attempt to contain the Soviet Union´s spread and reverse the trend of conflicts in Western Europe.

The aid program did manage to get Western European industries to rise production, and record levels of trade with American companies, feeding the US´s postwar economic boom. But the main goal was that these regions to avoid the threat of communist takeover during the Cold War.
