You are Joseph Stalin. It is 1947, and the United States and its allies have just announced the European Recovery Program, also known as the "Marshall Plan." The initial proposal offers aid to all European nations, even the Soviet Union and its socialist allies. The aid is badly needed: postwar economic conditions are grim throughout Eastern Europe. Your aides are split: some feel the assistance offered by the Marshall Plan could be helpful, while others view it as a form of financial imperialism. Your goal is to maintain control of your Eastern European neighbors. If you accept Marshall Plan aid or allow your satellites to accept it, you risk giving the West greater influence in your sphere of authority. But if you reject the program, you risk provoking resentment among your allies. What do you do?
