post-war recovery
Healing after conflict
Post-war recovery is the process by which a country rebuilds its economy, infrastructure, and society after armed conflict ends.
The term implies restoration toward pre-war conditions or beyond: The Marshall Plan accelerated Europe's post-war recovery.
Recovery encompasses physical reconstruction, economic stabilization, and social healing—often taking years or decades depending on the war's devastation.
