Following the Civil War, Greece had to rebuild itself from a massively disorganized war torn country. A new conservative leader was elected, Constantino Karamanlis, who set to work reorganizing Greece. At this point Greece started to benefit from the Marshall Plan (European Recovery Program). The American Mission of Aid to Greece (AMAG) sent millions of dollars to assist in the physical rebuilding of the country's military, architecture, and government. The American money helped to stabilize the Greek currency which went through huge inflation. Greece used much of the initial aid to finance revamping the military. This was done to help form a bulwark against communism. Greece was always under pressure by the communists in Russia to change over, but resisted largely due to the American and British intervention.
