[8] The Marshall Plan was created to build an economic reconstruction and with the Economic Cooperation Act of 1948 it was implemented. The United States included the former enemies, Germany and Italy, in its plan thereby preventing a reprise of the worldwide economic depression of 1929. The Marshall Plan also laid the foundation for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the eventual unification of European Countries (European Economic Union). http://www.indyflicks.com/danielle/papers/paper04.htm
