What factors contributed to the success of the Marshall Plan, and how did it impact postwar economic recovery and long-term development of Europe’s former Western bloc nations? What lessons can be learned from the Marshall Plan, and how can these lessons be applied to contemporary aid programmes for war-torn nations, such as Ukraine? Using a qualitative approach, analysing published research, the study seeks to identify key variables influencing the success of the Marshall Plan on the economic recovery and development of war-torn nations in Europe. The significance of this research lies in its potential to deepen the understanding of the importance of effective economic aid programmes for promoting growth and development in war-torn economies, by exploring the historical example of the Marshall Plan. The findings note the applicability of lessons from the Marshall Plan on contemporary foreign economic aid in war-torn nations such as Ukraine but emphasise that the success of the Marshall Plan does not imply the automatic success of all foreign aid programmes.
