Merle Haggard’s “Okie from Muskogee” is likely satire and should be treated more like it is in this passage. Mentioning Haggard as confronting the counterculture through this song would not be fair. Haggard said that “We wrote it to be satirical, originally, but then people latched on to it and it really turned into this song that looked into the mindset of people so opposite of who and where we were.” The first line of the song says “we don’t smoke marijuana in Muskogee” and this is coming from Haggard, who was known to smoke marijuana. If Archie Bunker is accurately said to mock revolutionary middle-aged white men than Haggard’s satirical song should be treated in a similar tone.

WWI is correct – though it is oddly phrased.
It is implying that the Marshall Plan was created as a way to ensure Europe would not see the same issues that had occurred after WWI.
WWII would only be correct if ‘to avoid’ was changed to ‘to fix/rebuild.’
