Marshall Plan

The Marshall Plan, known officially following its enactment as the European Recovery Program (ERP), was the main plan of the United States for the reconstruction of Europe following World War II. The initiative was named for United States Secretary of State George Marshall and was largely the creation of State Department officials including William L. Clayton and George F. Kennan.

• {{note|modern}} Marshall Plan style proposals for other parts of the world have been a perrenial idea. For instance, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have referred to their African aid goals as "a Marshall Plan."http://www.guardian.co.uk/g8/story/0,13365,1498591,00.html. After the end of the Cold War many felt Eastern Europe needed a rebuilding plan e.g. see http://www.commentarymagazine.com/Summaries/V89I1P19-1.htm.
