Summary/Abstract: The Marshall Plan – officially styled „the European Recovery Program” (ERP) – had a major contribution to the rebuilding of Europe, the Americans being engaged in a policy of blocking the spread of communism in the entire world. For the first time, the European countries had to act with a single economic unity, to collaborate with each other. The Marshall Plan generated the issue of the Schuman Plan, which, in turn, generated the European Coal and Steel Community, then the EURATOM and the common market, tracing the direction for what was to become the European Union.
