Marshall Aid, offered to European contries in June 1947, was rootcd
in American interests to revive the European economy as a strong trading
partner, and to strengthen Europe politicaııy against further Soviet expansion
westward. Turkey's inclusion under the Marshaıı Aid programme and
subsequentIy her partidpation in the European Recovery Programme (ERP)
raises questions concerning her eligibility for aid, and her role and
achievements under the ERP. In order to find an answer to the above, it is
first necessary to look into Turkey's political and economic situation during
the Second World War, and in its immediate aftermath, as well as her
relations with the United States during this period.
