Three of the things the Marshall Plan was designed to do were:

Explanation:
The Marshall Plan was an American initiative to help Western Europe, in which the United States gave economic aid worth about 14 billion dollars for the reconstruction of those countries in Europe devastated after World War II. The plan was in operation for four years since 1948. The objectives of the United States were to rebuild those areas destroyed by the war, eliminate barriers to trade, modernize European industry and make the continent prosperous again; All of these objectives were aimed at preventing the spread of communism, which had a large and growing influence in post-war Europe. The Marshall Plan required a decrease in inter-state barriers, less regulation of business and encouraged an increase in productivity, union membership and new "modern" business models.
