What was the Soviet response to the Marshall Plan?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Soviet Union rejected the Marshall Plan because they believed it was an attempt by the United States to extend its global economic and political dominance. They also viewed it as a way to undermine Soviet influence in Europe. The Soviet Union instead launched its own economic aid program for Eastern Europe, called the Molotov Plan. The rejection of the Marshall Plan solidified the division between Eastern Europe, under Soviet influence, and Western Europe, under American influence.
