Red wooden crate marked "For European Recovery Supplied by the United State of America"
The Marshall Plan, also known as the European Recovery Program, was introduced on June 5th, 1947. Secretary of State George C. Marshall announced the plan at a commencement speech at Harvard University. The announcement came only a few months after President Truman announced the Truman Doctrine, declaring that the United States would provide military and economic aid to countries resisting communism. The Marshall plan provided 13 billion dollars to Europe to finance the recovery of war-torn nations. The goal of the plan was to spark economic recovery in Europe, for it was believed that communist aggression fed off economic turmoil. The Marshall Plan successfully restored the confidence of the European people in the economic future of their own countries.
