Explanation:

The Marshall Plan was a plan for economic assistance for reconstruction in the Western European countries after World War II, for the development of European countries and world politics.  This was proposed to help its European allies recover from the collapse of the world system due to the war, while at the same time countering the further penetration and expansion of the Soviet Union and communist forces in Europe.
