Explanation
Answer: D - The European Recovery Plan, authorized by the U.S. Senate in 1947 to help rebuild Western Europe after World War II was nicknamed the Marshall Plan in honor of Secretary of State George C. Marshall, who proposed the economic aid package. The program was designed to help rebuild the economies and infrastructures of 16 European nations, including the United States’ closest allies (like the United Kingdom) and some of the Axis powers against which the United States had previously fought the war (West Germany and Italy). Over four years, the total cost to the United States was $13.3 billion. The plan was a rousing success, with each of the recipient nations developing stronger economies than they had before the war."
