Marshall Doctrine

The Marshall Doctrine refers to the foreign policy approach of U.S. Secretary of State George Marshall after World War II, emphasizing extensive economic aid to help rebuild Europe, particularly Western Europe, to promote stability and prevent the spread of communism. This strategic plan, known as the Marshall Plan, provided financial assistance, resources, and infrastructure support to help war-torn countries recover, fostering economic growth and political stability. The goal was to create stronger, prosperous nations that would be less vulnerable to communist influence, thereby benefiting global peace and U.S. interests.
