What was the intention of the marshall plan

The goal of the Marshall plan was to help bring a war-torn Europe back into the global economy. The United States and the Soviet Union were the world Super-powers at the end of WW2 (The Marshall Plan was signed into law after the Allied victory in WW2..), and Europe would have a hard time recovering on their own. Germany and the Axis-affiliated countries were punished far less severely than the Treaty of Versailles about three decades before: this time they would help rebuild the governments and societies one would expect from a modern culture.

The Intention of the Marshall plan was to help 'rebuild' Europe from the craters and ruins that WW2 had left in it's wake.
