Let's say for whatever reason the United States is unable to give economic aid to its European and Asian allies. (The main part of the discussion is how much effect the Marshall Plan had upon Europe and Asia.) What would be the ramifications? The obvious would be laggard economic growth, but how much it slow down? Would this lead to the complete fall of Europe to Communism, as the US has feared?
