Further Explanation:

After World War II, the United States and Soviet Union emerged as global superpowers. Even though both countries were allies during World War II, they became enemies shortly after the war concluded. This was due to their differences in terms of economic and political beliefs. The rivalry that ensued between the two countries lead to the Cold War.

The Cold War consisted of the US and Soviet Union competing for international power and prestige. This is why the US adopted the policy of containment, as the US government wanted to stop the spread of communism (the system of government used by the Soviet Union). To ensure that war torn countries across Europe did not turn to communism, the Secretary of State George Marshall created the Marshall Plan. This would give $13 billion in aid to European countries negatively impacted by World War II. This helped the US to continue their alliance with countries like Great Britain and France while also stopping the spread of communism to these countries.

One of the most serious issues the United States has to face after the ending of World War 2 was related to the reconstruction of Europe. The war had massively damaged the infrastructure of Europe and that led to massive food shortages throughout the Continent between the period of 1946-1947. The United States had the fear that this will lead to the spreading of communism in Europe and in order to stop that, The United States introduced Marshall Plan and this plan was introduced in order to stabilize the economy of Europe. Under this plan, George C. Marshall, who was Secretary of the United States during that period of time proposed a plan to provide 13 billion dollars to Europe as economic aid.
