No. The goal of the Marshall Plan itself is to help European countries reconstruct their devastated World War II country, as well as to stem the Communist influence. This is done because the Communists usually come from poor and unstable. The first Marshall Plan was awarded to Greece and Turkey of US $ 400 million, due to a rebellion allegedly committed by the Communists. After that, the United States also tried to keep Germany from falling into the Soviet Union, because according to the United States if Germany fell it would be the beginning of the fall of Europe to the Communists. At that time Berlin, the capital of Germany, was divided into four, with the two great powers of the United States taking control of western Berlin and the Soviet Union occupying east Berlin.
Basically, the underlying form of the Marshall Plan (as well as the Point Four Program) is to help the European economy and "save" Europe from communism). However, broadly and globally, the objective of the Marshall Plan is to reduce suffering through investment supported by the inclusion of abundant western supplies in agriculture, commerce, industry and health.
