How much money did the marshall plan give up to Europe?

Answer 1

An invitation was sent out to European nations, including the Soviet Union, to get together and discuss the kind of aid that was needed. Once this was done, a proposal was sent to Washington. Although lawmakers were not particularly fond of the idea of spending billions of dollars helping Europe rebuild, they finally agreed to send around 5 billion dollars in aid. The Soviet Union chose not to participate in the Marshall Plan. They did not want accountability for their actions as they rebuilt. By the time this plan ended four years later in 1951, the United States had given more than 12 billion dollars in aid.
