Which of the following statements is true regarding the Marshall Plan?

It ended the Cold War
It granted British control over Palestine after WWI
It ended the conflict in Korea
It gave Western Europe billions to rebuild after WWII

The correct answer is: It gave Western Europe billions to rebuild after WWII

The statement that the Marshall Plan gave Western Europe billions to rebuild after World War II is accurate and reflects a significant aspect of post-war recovery. Formulated by U.S. Secretary of State George Marshall in 1947, the Marshall Plan aimed to provide economic assistance for the reconstruction of European nations devastated by the war. It offered over $12 billion (equivalent to more than $100 billion today) in financial aid to help restore industries, infrastructure, and economies, ultimately preventing the spread of communism by stabilizing these countries economically and politically. This significant financial support was intended to foster economic cooperation and build strong economies that could resist the influence of the Soviet Union. By stabilizing the European economy, the Marshall Plan played a crucial role in the recovery of nations such as France, West Germany, and Italy, contributing to the establishment of a prosperous and democratic Western Europe. The other statements do not accurately represent the objectives or outcomes of the Marshall Plan. The aim was not to end the Cold War, control territories, or resolve the conflict in Korea, which were separate geopolitical issues influenced by various factors and events during the Cold War years.
