Explanation: The Marshall Plan(also known as the European Recovery Program), was a United States program providing aid to Western Europe following the devastation of World War II. It was enacted in 1948 and provided more than $15 billion to help finance rebuilding efforts in Europe. In addition to economic redevelopment, a major goal of the Marshall Plan was to halt the spread of communism through the continent.
This was crafted as a four-year plan to reconstruct cities, industries and infrastructure that were damaged during the war, to eradicate trade barriers between European nations and develop trade relationships between those nations and the United States.
