George C. Marshall Harvard Speech
On 5 June 1947, Secretary of State George C. Marshall held the commencement speech at Harvard University. Having just returned from Moscow weeks before, he had become convinced that drastic economic measures in Europe were needed in order to preserve it for the free world. He therefore announced that the United States were willing to extend economic aid to Europe. Europe, however, had to come up with the plan for such aid itself. Eventually, Marshalls Harvard speech gave the impetus for the creation of the Organisation for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC).
