Answer:

El Plan Marshall —oficialmente llamado European Recovery Program (ERP)— fue una iniciativa de Estados Unidos para ayudar a Europa Occidental, en la que los estadounidenses dieron ayudas económicas por valor de unos 12 000 millones de dólares de la época1​ para la reconstrucción de aquellos países de Europa devastados tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial. El plan estuvo en funcionamiento durante cuatro años desde 1948.

Tras seis años de guerra, buena parte de Europa estaba devastada y millones de personas habían muerto o quedado lisiadas. Los combates se habían producido prácticamente por todas partes, abarcando un área mucho más grande que la que había sido afectada durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. A causa de los bombardeos aéreos, la mayor parte de las ciudades estaban muy dañadas, en especial las áreas industriales que habían sido los objetivos principales de dichos bombardeos. Berlín y Varsovia eran montañas de escombros, y Londres y Róterdam habían quedado muy perjudicadas. La estructura económica del continente había quedado en nada y millones de personas se encontraban en la indigencia. Aun cuando el episodio de hambre holandesa de 1944 se pudo resolver, la devastación general de la agricultura provocó una oleada de hambre en toda Europa, agravada por el duro invierno de 1946-1947 en el noreste del continente. También estaban destruidas las infraestructuras como, por ejemplo, las vías férreas, los puentes y las carreteras, que habían sido objetivo principal de los bombardeos aéreos, y muchos barcos de carga habían sido hundidos. Los municipios más pequeños no habían sufrido tanto los destrozos de la guerra, pero la carencia de redes de transporte los había dejado prácticamente aislados tanto física como económicamente.

Tras la Primera Guerra Mundial, la economía europea también había quedado muy dañada, y la profunda recesión económica duró hasta bien entrados los años 1920, con la inestabilidad y la bajada generalizada de precios que esto conllevó a la economía global. Los Estados Unidos, pese a un resurgimiento del aislacionismo, habían procurado ayudar al crecimiento europeo, sobre todo mediante la colaboración de los grandes bancos estadounidenses. Cuando Alemania no pudo pagar las reparaciones de guerra, los estadounidenses también contribuyeron ampliando los préstamos que Alemania había solicitado, una deuda que a los estadounidenses todavía no les había sido resarcida cuando entraron en la Segunda Guerra Mundial en 1941.
