Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Soviet reactions to the Marshall Plan were hostile and they viewed it as an attempt by the United States to establish economic and therefore political domination over Europe. They saw it as a form of imperialism and refused to participate in it, instead setting up their own aid program for countries in Eastern Europe. The Soviet Union also saw the Marshall Plan as a threat to their influence and attempted to undermine it by encouraging communist parties in Europe to oppose it.
