Question

After World War II, which policy or initiative in the United States and European Union aimed at providing affordable housing and improving urban living conditions?

A. Marshall Plan
B. Great Society
C. New Deal
D. Common Agricultural Policy

Answer 1

The Marshall Plan was the policy after World War II that provided economic aid to European countries for affordable housing and improving urban living conditions, to prevent the spread of Communism and facilitate economic recovery.

Step-by-step explanation:

After World War II, the policy or initiative in the United States that aimed at providing affordable housing and improving urban living conditions was the Marshall Plan. This plan, also known as the European Recovery Program, was implemented between 1948 and 1952, giving $13 billion in economic aid to European nations to assist in their rebuilding efforts post-war. It was motivated by the desire to prevent the economic disorder that often facilitated the growth of Communist parties, as well as restoring global trade, and was successful in preventing the spread of Communism and aiding the economic recovery of Western Europe.

Answer 2

The Great Society was the U.S. policy after WWII that aimed at providing affordable housing and improving urban living conditions, not the Marshall Plan.

Step-by-step explanation:

After World War II, to provide affordable housing and improve urban living conditions, the United States implemented the policy known as the Great Society. This initiative was not part of the European Union approach; it was specifically an American domestic program. The Marshall Plan, also known as the European Recovery Program, was aimed at rebuilding European economies and preventing the spread of Communism, but it did not directly target housing or urban living conditions. The New Deal was an earlier program enacted during the Great Depression, and the Common Agricultural Policy is related to the European Union's agricultural subsidies and not specifically towards housing or urban renewal.
