It passed the conservative Republican Congress in March of 1948. After World War I, the economic devastation of Germany caused by burdensome reparations payments led to the rise of Hitler. The Allies didn't want this to happen again and the Marshall Plan was devised to make sure that those conditions didn't arise again.

In 1956, at the age of 40 years old, Vester was alive when this was the year that the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley, became an international sensation.

Elvis scandalized adults and thrilled teens.
