What is the Marshall Plan? I'm sure that it was used during the cold war.. could you please tell me what Marshall Plan was about? T.T

Wasn't that the u.s.'s plan to help non-communists countries recover from the war? If I remember correctly we basically lent countries a bunch of aid so that the soviet union wouldn't help and the non-communist countries would stay sided with us. That's the super simplified version of what I remember lol if you Google it you're bound to come up with at least a handful of realiable sites.
