Europe following World War Two was in economic ruin. Six years of fighting had left the economies of Europe devastated. To counter-act this, United States State Department developed "The Marshall Plan" (officially known as the European Recovery Program), which involved the United States giving $17 billion in economic support to European countries following the war. The plan was put into action in April 1948, and helped spur on an incredible recovery of Europe's economies.

It was called the European Recovery Plan (ERP).

It was eventually called the Marshall Plan, after General George C. Marshall, who became Secretary of State under President Harry Truman (1947-1949) and was later briefly Secretary of Defense.

The Marshall Plan, but it was more of a loan than just giving money away.
