Throughout history, it has been shown how political systems around the world differ from country to country. With that comes their own way of living, thinking and growing as a nation. How a country is shaped depends greatly on its views of absolute monarchy, Democracy, Communism, and fascism, which are only some systems helping to shape the nations we know today. All these political systems are formed in each region according on the needs of people, exposure they have, and their type of resources. For example, Adolf Hitler, who joined the fascist German workers ' Party in 1919, was a military and political leader of Germany. Hitler believed, ”Jews" or Jewish people were responsible for all Germany 's domestic problems. His beliefs were spread throughout the country and people started to follow him. He soon became a councillor of a fusion government in 1933. He took matters into his own hands and gained dictator powers. He started to institute anti-Jewish laws, then came the process of German militarization and territorial in particularly the invasion of Russia. German military were doing good at first; starving millions of Russians and getting closer to Moscow. Underestimating the harsh winter, they were not ready and were defeated. At the same time, during 1941 America had entered the war for the remaining four years because Japan had bombed Pearl Harbor.

The aftermath of the World War resulted in the division of Europe, giving chance to Joesph Stalin of the Soviet Union to strength their belief in communism. After World War II ended, the Soviets felt Germany needed to pay a price for causing the war and demanded 10 million dollars. They also took part of Germany and hand it out to other countries. During this period, destruction from the war in the European countries were vast. Many countries like Belgium, Denmark, France, West Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, and Turkey to name a few, had lost a lot of their homes, loved ones, work place, schools more than America partly due to the our entrance later in the war. We were not severely hurt and were strong enough to lend a hand out. Leading to The United States creating The Marshal Plan to aid in recovery and help heal these nations. In no way was the United States’s Marshall Plan the first strategy for Europe after World War II. It was a way to reconstruct and revive the Western European economy, currency, foster trade and communities and people but its primary goal was of economic containment of communism in the beginning of the Cold War. Although confronted with expanding questions in Congress about its effectiveness due to other rehabilitation plans failing and what some may say contributed to the Cold War, the Truman organization wanted to think of the Marshall Plan as a way of bringing together the nations.
