In the early days of the Cold War, the United States devised a plan to help rebuild war-torn Europe’s economy and prevent the spread of communism.
This strategy was known as the Marshall Plan, and it would eventually provide over US$12.7 billion in aid to European countries between 1948 and 1952.
At its completion, it was believed to be successful in helping to rebuild Europe, and it also ultimately benefited American companies by creating new markets for their products.
