#History #ForeignPolicy #AmericanAidReview: “Les Origines du plan Marshall”

#AnnieLacroixRiz analyses the “Myth of the #US American Aid” to #Europe following the #SecondWorldWar and the path to the imposition of #US hegemony.
[...]
#LacroixRiz’s analysis, as meticulous as always, sheds light on the years 1941 to 1946 – the period, in which the #UnitedStates imposed its “rise to global hegemony.” The French General #PaulAndréDoyen, head of the #French delegation to the #GermanArmisticeCommission since September 6, 1940, had already predicted the #GermanReich’s demise back in July 1941: the #UnitedStates, the actual victor of the #FirstWorldWar, would emerge from the Second even more powerful, while the European countries, which once could still have been its rival, would be seriously weakened. The world “would have to bow to the will of the #UnitedStates over the coming decades.” Doyen was right.
During the period mentioned above, the #UnitedStates laid the necessary groundwork – not only militarily, but above all economically. Important milestones, such as the #LandLeaseAct, which regulated – beginning in 1941 – the delivery of strategic combat material to allied countries, officially on a leasing basis; then the results of #BrettonWoods in July 1944, which ensured the dominance of the US-dollar; and ultimately, particularly for #France, the #BlumByrnesAgreements of May 1946, compelling access for #US cultural products, particularly films, to the French cultural market. All these milestones decisively contributed to paving the way for #US-American products and capital into #Europe. The #MarshallPlan was merely the final cherry on the cake. It further increased sales of #US products to #WestEuropean countries, binding them even more closely to the #USA, ultimately securing #US hegemony.

une prémisse fausse, "le plan Marshall, une aide décisive"
Voici une copie du livre si la curiosité vous prend de vérifier les impitoyables tombereaux d'archives étatsuniennes (et non soviétiques) sur lesquelles Mme #LacroixRiz appuye son analyse critique.
on la démonte pendant deux cents pages d'arguments fallacieux parce qu'infondés.
En langue française, l'historien de synthèse #RichardFarnetti, expliquait déjà dans un livre de 1993 « L'économie britannique de 1873 à nos jours », comment la tâche prioritaire des #USA de 1939 à 1945 (sans parler d'avant) est d'achever de supplanter l'impérialisme britannique, en particulier en ce qui concerne ce qui a permis à l' #Europe de surmonter jusque là les crises capitalistes : le pillage des colonies et des accords bilatéraux intra-européens.
On y trouvait déjà dans son chapitre 7 « La Deuxième Guerre mondiale et l’avènement de la Pax Americana », une analyse du Prêt-Bail de 1941 intitulée : « Le mythe de l’aide généreuse américaine… et son prix réel » p. 145-152.
Concernant les famines en #URSS, sachez qu'à ma connaissance les critiques d'archives diplomatiques et militaires européennes faites par Mme Lacroix-Riz concordent avec les travaux d'un des historiens faisant autorité mondiale sur le sujet, M. #MarkTauger, étatsunien, pas connu comme marxiste. Ses principaux travaux sont traduits en français dans « Famine et transformation agricole en URSS », livre recensé à sa sortie par Mme Lacroix-Riz dans le #MondeDiplomatique.
