Under the Marshall plan what did the United states do?

Under the Marshall Plan, officially known as the European Recovery Program, the United States provided substantial economic aid to Western European countries from 1948 to 1952. The plan aimed to rebuild war-torn economies, stabilize governments, and prevent the spread of communism by promoting economic cooperation and recovery. Approximately $13 billion (equivalent to over $150 billion today) was distributed to help facilitate reconstruction, modernize industry, and boost trade. This initiative ultimately contributed to the rapid recovery of Western Europe and laid the groundwork for long-term economic cooperation.
