The Creation of Cominform and Comecon | Stalin Strikes Back

Designed for GCSE History. With the introduction of the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Aid, Stalin is starting to get worried that Eastern Europe will slip through his fingers. So he hatches a plan (or two) to tighten his grip: Cominform and Comecon.

This video covers:
1) A brief introduction to the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan
2) What Cominform was and what it did.
3) What Comecon was and what it did.
4) The effect of both new organisations on East/West relations.

These videos are made by Andy Hassan as part of the History Blast series. These are meant for educational purposes only.

At the start of the video, I introduced the channel as 'History Bite'. Please note that this is the old name of History Blast, which was changed in August 2021. The use of the name can be attributed to the Trademark 'History Bites', registered to Solomon Schmidt.
