The Marshall Plan, officially known as the European Recovery Program, provided substantial economic aid to Western European countries after World War II. Implemented in 1948, it offered over $12 billion (equivalent to more than $100 billion today) in financial assistance to help rebuild war-torn economies, stabilize currencies, and prevent the spread of communism. The aid included grants, loans, and technical assistance aimed at fostering economic cooperation and integration among European nations. Ultimately, the plan played a crucial role in revitalizing the European economy and promoting political stability.
