The Three things that the Marshall plan was designed to do were.
* Rebuild the European Industrial Complex
* Stem the tide of communism in the region
* Relieve food shortages.
The Marshall Plan appropriated $13.3 billion for European recovery. That huge amount provided much needed capital and materials that enabled Europeans to rebuild its continent's economy. The plan provided markets for American goods, created reliable trading partners, and supported the development of Western Europe's stable democratic government.
