After World War II, many European countries were war-ravaged and in need of repair. Thus, the United States came up with the Marshall Plan, which put billions of dollars towards rebuilding Europe. American decision-makers supported the Marshall plan because in rebuilding European nations, it opened up overseas markets to trade with, which would boost the United States economy. Also, if allies of the United Sates were strengthened, they could help to keep communism at bay, thus reinforcing democracy. Finally, American decision-makers knew that if the United Sates helped out other European nations, the United States would be seen as a strong, generous nation.
