The Marshall Plan, officially known as the European Recovery Program, was an American initiative passed in 1948 to aid Western Europe, in which the United States gave over $12 billion (approximately $128 billion in current dollar value as of 2020) in economic assistance to help rebuild Western European economies after the end of World War II.
