Following WWII, most European countries were completely destroyed, economically, industrially and agriculturally. In fear of many European nations falling prey to communism, the United States set up the Truman Doctrine on 12 March, 1947, which allocated $400 million to Greece and Turkey in military and economic aid. Due to the success of the Doctrine, the Marshall Plan was created in June of 1948. The Marshall Plan was direct economic aid for any democratic European nation who needed it. At its end in 1951, the Marshall Plan cost the United States over $13 billion.
The Marshall Plan involved providing grants to Europe, that were not loans. The funds were paid directly to the European nations under the plan, and for the most part, the money was spent in the United States, creating both jobs as well as export economic gain for the country.
The Marshall Plan allowed nations to rebuild their economies and infrastructure based on low-cost or no-cost American loans and material.
