Reconstruction and the Late ’40s 1946 National Referendum selects republic over monarchy Umberto II leaves Italy 1947 De Gasperi visits the United States to accept the Marshall Plan of economic aid 1948 Political elections, the Christian Democrats defeat a coalition of the PCI and the PSI Unsuccessful assassination attempt against Communist Party leader Palmiro Togliatti 1949 Italy joins NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) 1950 CD-led government institutes the Cassa del Mezzogiorno public works pro- gram to promote southern Italian economic development n 1946 a referendum was held with universal suffrage to decide whether the Ifuture Italian constitution would be monarchical or republican. The voters’ choice of a republic paved the way for a republican constitution with a weak exec- utive branch and a parliament divided into two bodies with a large number of deputies.

The Resistance had been more of a northern than southern phenomenon. Liberation began in July of 1943 with the Anglo-American invasion of Sicily, with northern Italy remaining
