George Marshall

George Marshall was Chief of Staff of the United States Army during World War II.

George Marshall in Worldwar
George Marshall was instrumental to the nation's defense following the invasion of the Race's Conquest Fleet in 1942. After the Race destroyed Washington, DC with an atomic bomb, Marshall coordinated the defense of his invaded country from White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. There he met with Jens Larssen and Leslie Groves, who convinced him of the vital importance of developing an American atomic bomb.

Following the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the ascendancy of his Secretary of State, Cordell Hull, to the Presidency, Hull asked Marshall to replace him as Secretary of State. Marshall accepted the position and represented the United States at the Peace of Cairo conference, where he obtained guarantees from Atvar that the Race would respect the sovereignties of the United States, Canada, Haiti, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic and a joint American-Canadian claim to Iceland and Greenland.

George Marshall in "Joe Steele"
George Marshall was one of the handful of generals to survive President Joe Steele's purges in the 1937. Marshall's single-minded tenacity helped save him from the president when the United States entered World War II. Marshall wanted to win, which made Steele happy. Marshall was also relatively modest, and would not divert the spotlight from the president.
