Marshall plan and it's application in Turkey

After World War the Second, European economy had collapsed. During the war,the production sources had been used for gun machinery and people started to starve.The Soviet Union, who had ended the war getting stronger, started to make pressureover Eastern European Countries to spread communism. The only country which couldstand against Soviet Union was America.After United Kingdom had declared that, she wouldn?t be able to continueeconomic aid to Greece; The United States, decided to help Greece and Türkiye in orderto stand against communism and Soviet Union.Five months after the Truman Doctrine?s declaration, the United States decided amore comprehensive aid plan called as Marshall Plan. The United States,sixteenEuropean countries and occupant countries representing Germany except Soviet Russiamet at Paris Conference and decided European Recovery Program.In spite of a considerable opposing camp, the Marshall Plan had been voted onCongress and got admission. This admission initiated the economic aid process between1948-1952.First reason that pushed United States for this help was, the Soviet Union threat.The second reason was the economic ruins of Europe, and the probability of losing herbiggest market. The Marshall Plan, that was declared also due to Soviet Union?sumcomprimising behaviour, made United States predominant in Europe. United States,protected her export amount from decreasing, thanks to the Marshall Plan. At the sametime, she had the European countries economically bounded to her by interfering theEuropen countries where to use the aid she gave.Turkey had get closer to the Western countries and United States, since shewanted to get rid of her loneliness policy during the war. She thouht that the only wayto solve her economical problems was to get aid. Even the success of the governmentwas measured according to the amunt of aid.ivTurkiye wasn?t icluded in the Marshall Plan due to either her exchange and goldreserves or the reason that she hadn?t enter the war. Turkiye had been included in theplan after very long bureaucratic efforts but she would have to expect being the grainambar for Europe and give up heavy industry.Turkiye had always been one of the countries, who got the least amount of aid.Also she could?nt have used the aid properly or made long term plans. She usually hadused the aid to close the budgetary deficit for saving the day.As United States canalized Turkiye to the agriculture and hafif sanayi, Türkiyecouldn?t develop her industry. The loans had increased becouse she used big amunts ofouter credits and the import amount was always bigger than the export amount.As conclusion, The Marshall Plan helped United States to get stronger and moreefficient in World policy. Europe developed in a short time. But Türkiye became juniorAmerica. She couldn?t use the aid properly and she never got what she expected. Shepaid for her mistake that she never tried to solve her problems on her own.
