Marshall Plan (not related)

The Marshall Plan was an American initiative launched after World War II to help Western European countries rebuild their economies and infrastructure. Announced in 1947, it provided over $12 billion in aid to promote stability, prevent the spread of communism, and foster economic growth. The plan aimed to support recovery by offering financial assistance, technical expertise, and encouraging cooperation among nations. By stabilizing economies and stimulating trade, the Marshall Plan helped countries recover faster and laid the foundation for long-term peace and prosperity in the region.
