The Marshall Plan supported the Cold War policy of containment by providing economic aid to Western European countries to help them rebuild after World War II. This financial assistance aimed to strengthen these nations against the influence of communism, particularly from the Soviet Union. By promoting economic stability and prosperity, the plan sought to prevent the spread of communist ideologies and maintain a balance of power in Europe.

Containment was a U.S. foreign policy strategy during the Cold War aimed at preventing the spread of communism beyond its existing borders. It emerged after World War II as a response to the perceived threat posed by the Soviet Union and its satellite states. The policy involved various tactics, including military alliances, economic aid, and support for anti-communist regimes, exemplified by initiatives like the Marshall Plan and NATO. Ultimately, containment sought to limit Soviet influence globally and maintain a balance of power.

The Marshall Plan was a part of the "containment" policy of the Cold War. The clear intent of the Marshall Plan was to prevent the spread of Communism, and in the case of the Marshall Plan, the prevention of Communism in European countries like Greece and Turkey. The Soviet Union opposed this because the spread of Communism to other countries would extend its control over them.
