How Under the Marshall Plan the US?

Under the Marshall Plan, officially known as the European Recovery Program, the United States provided over $13 billion in economic aid to Western European countries from 1948 to 1952. This initiative aimed to rebuild war-torn economies, stabilize governments, and prevent the spread of communism by fostering economic cooperation and recovery. The funds were used for infrastructure reconstruction, industrial revitalization, and the promotion of trade, ultimately contributing to the rapid recovery of Western Europe and strengthening U.S. alliances in the region.
