Blog Posting #2 Mrshall Plan (make-up)

The Marshall Plan was a pretty simple conduct. Keeping communism out of America, and help to create a strong foundation for countries in West Europe. The plan, otherwise known as the European recovery plan. Marshall simply asked that the US find out Europes economic needs, and help meet them, to restore europe. One of the biggest goals was economic cooperation between the 2. Conveniently, shortly after in 1948 Truman signed the ECA, economic cooroperation act. The act signed over $5,300,000,000 of US dollars. In 1951 the plan came to an end when the US spent more than half that money on restoring Europe. The overall goal was to help Europe recover from WWII, which happened. Marshall actually recieved a Nobel Peace Prize for his plan later on.
