Excerpt: On April 3, 1948, President Truman signed the Economic Recovery Act of 1948. It became known as the Marshall Plan, named for Secretary of State George Marshall, who in 1947 proposed that the United States provide economic assistance to restore the economic infrastructure of postwar Europe.(Submitted on September 27, 2023.)
Over the next four years, Congress appropriated $13.3 billion for European recovery. This aid providedmuch needed capital and materials that enabled Europeans to rebuild the continent’s economy.Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, August 23, 20232. Plan Marshall / The Marshall Plan Marker - English plaque
For the United States, the Marshall Plan provided markets for American goods, created reliable trading partners, and supported the development of stable democratic governments in Western Europe. Congress’s approval of the Marshall Plan signaled an extension of the bipartisanship of World War II into the postwar years.
