Castle Rock

Event Hall A - Castle Rock

In the wake of World War II, the United States invested over $13 billion to help rebuild Western Europe.

The Marshall Plan, as it came to be known, not only helped Europe and the world recover economically, but also served to strengthen post war alliances for the U.S., providing an important balance against Soviet power as the Cold War era began. Join Active Minds as we review this historic initiative and discuss its relevance in the world today.
