On June 5, 1947, U.S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall announced what would become known as the Marshall Plan.
Following the devastation of World War II, the plan proposed economic assistance to help rebuild European nations, restore industries, and promote long-term stability. Over the next several years, billions of dollars in aid helped accelerate recovery across Western Europe and played a major role in shaping the post-war world.
