The Marshall plan was a program founded in 1948. George Marshall was a secretary of state in the United States, and he was the person initiating the plan. And as you can see, the plan was named after him.
The plan had a vision of helping the western countries in Europe after the 2 World War. It was suppose to rebuild and create stronger foundation for the countries.
13 billion USD was used for economic and technical assistance to the European countries that was a member of the Organization for European Economic Co-operation. Trough the next three decades all the helped countries had reached a level that was past the wartime level.
It was a good plan and it helped the Europeans through a difficult time.
