The Marshall Plan

The European Recovery Program, known commonly as the Marshall Plan, represents a remarkable example of American foreign policy that restored hope to war-weary citizens and economic vitality to war-ravaged nations in Europe following the conclusion of World War II in 1945. This book can be used by students and teachers who wish to learn more about the immediate effects of the second world war, the political and cultural history of the 1940s, and the efforts of the United States to aid the recovery of Europe from the war. Study questions have been included at the beginning of each section.
