Plan

This week we started to talk about the cold war. During this war specifically, anticommunism was a big topic. The U.S even created a containment policy to help combat it. A plan they created was called the Marshall plan. It was made to help aid European countries that had not fallen under communism. The Marshall Plan provided a promise of economic and financial stability and the U, S spent approximately 13 billion dollars financing this plan.  By providing the monetary provisions for Europe, the U.S was also brining money back to itself. When money went to Europe, then they bought American goods and used American workers which help build up the U.S. economy as well. The Marshall plan also allocated the idea that the U.S would protect these countries with the army and would not hesitate to use force on any communist like actions. The main points of the Marshall plan were created to help support the containment policy and help combat communism.
