The Marshall Plan was, indeed a loan. No, the Marshall plan was not a loan. It was aid. There were loans made but they were not part of the Marshall Plan itself.
The Marshall Plan was a program created by the United States to give money to countries of Western Europe to rebuild farms, factories, and railroads damaged during World War II. It was created as an act of containment to try and stop countries from falling to communism. The countries that accepted aid from the Marshall Plan were Great Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Greece, Turkey, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. Spain, Sweden, and Austria were the only countries who accepted aid from the Marshall plan but refused to become members of NATO.
I have attached a link that explains the Marshall Plan well. See the link below.
Marshall Plan, named after George C. Marshall, who was then US Secretary of State under President Truman. George Marshall was previously the very successful four-star general, Chief of Staff (head) of the US Army in the Second World War. Marshall won the Nobel Peace Prize for the plan and implementation of American rebuilding of western Europe after the war.
Spain benefited from the Marshall Plan primarily through increased economic aid and investment, which helped stabilize its post-Civil War economy. Although Spain was not an official recipient of Marshall Plan funds due to its political regime under Franco, it still gained indirectly by receiving financial support through bilateral agreements and economic cooperation with the U.S. This assistance facilitated industrial growth, infrastructure development, and modernization, contributing to Spain's economic recovery and eventual integration into the European economy. Overall, the influx of U.S. aid helped lay the groundwork for Spain's later economic boom in the 1960s.
The Marshall Plan allowed nations to rebuild their economies and infrastructure based on low-cost or no-cost American loans and material.
American farms and factories raised production levels.

who did not accept the marshall plan
The Soviet Union did not receive Marshall Plan aid from the United States. Although invited to participate, the USSR rejected the offer, viewing it as a means for the US to exert influence over Europe. Consequently, the countries within the Eastern Bloc, which were under Soviet control, also did not benefit from the Marshall Plan.
They got to export with these countries and this meant they did not become communisy
The Marshal Plan was instituted on July 12, 1947.
