Between 1946 and 1961, the United States distributed over 85 billion U.S. dollars to approximately 140 countries across the globe in the form of free grants or repayable loans. Over half of this was distributed to Western European countries, with 27.4 billion dollars in economic assistance, and 17.2 billion in military assistance, for a combined total of 44.5 billion dollars. A total of 25.3 billion was distributed to Asian states in this time, with the majority coming between 1953 and 1961 as Asia became the center stage of the Cold War.
