10. The Marshall Plan
The Marshall Plan, also called the European Recovery Plan, was enacted by the US in 1947 as a way to help rebuild Europe after World War II.
Meant to help the badly damaged Europe recover, it was also meant to prevent communism from gaining a stronghold in war torn countries.
West Germany, which was divided from East Germany after the war, received some aid under the Marshall Plan. Great Britain and France received the most aid, over $200 million US Dollars (USD) each.
Other countries receiving funds for reconstruction were Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Iceland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, and Turkey.
Although aid was offered to the Soviet Union, it was refused.
