The Marshall Plan, also known as the European Recovery Program, was a massive aid program initiated by the United States to help rebuild Western Europe after World War II. The plan was named after Secretary of State George Marshall, who proposed it in 1947. The Marshall Plan provided billions of dollars in economic assistance to countries devastated by the war, helping to rebuild infrastructure, industry, and agriculture. It was a critical component of the post-war reconstruction effort and played a significant role in shaping the political and economic landscape of Europe in the decades that followed.
