What to Focus On

  • Europe was economically weak after 1945.

  • OEEC was the first economic step toward unity.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

European unity after 1945 was mainly a single project that developed in the same way in both eastern and western Europe.

The Marshall Plan and the Molotov Plan were the same kind of aid programme with the same purpose.

Cominform and COMECON were the same organization because both began in the late 1940s and both dealt with communist states.
