Marshall proposes European economic recovery
node
Secretary of State George Marshall, speaking at Harvard, proposed American financing for a European recovery programme to be designed by the Europeans themselves. The offer was formally open to all European states including the Soviet Union and its neighbours; Moscow rejected participation and required the states in its sphere to do the same, which is the moment the economic division of Europe became explicit. Recovery aid began flowing in 1948 and ran for four years.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.

- Evidence
- Named as the general narrative authority behind this pack's framing of the period, and cited in the Journey's own declared references. V55 verification basis: NOT consulted in this session. It is also a work with a definite interpretive position — broadly, that Soviet conduct drove the confrontation and that Western pressure and Soviet internal failure ended it — and this pack cites it as one reading rather than as a neutral summary.
