The Big Picture. The Changed Face of Europe
Description
This dramatic episode of the U.S. Army's The Big Picture television series features Europe's changing face in the wake of World War II. In the unrest and chaos that ensued after centuries of neglect, Communism saw its greatest chance and the years of Stalinist expansion began. These were also the years of the Marshall Plan, European economic recovery, and the formation of NATO to defend Western Europe from Soviet aggression. This video from the National Archives and Records Administration shows viewers that the face of Europe has been transformed to one of despair among the Communist satellites and to one of unprecedented prosperity among the free nations.
