Marshall Plan
After World War Two, many empires fell and many civil wars occurred. The United States wanted stability, democracy and open trade. Because it feared that postwar economic weakness would increase the popularity of communism, the U.S. offered European nations including the Soviet Union large sums of money to repair the war damage and help their economies. The Soviet Union and the communist nations of Eastern Europe turned down the offer. By 1952, through a program to rebuild Western Europe (called the Marshall Plan), the United States had invested $13.3 billion.
二戰(zhàn)后，許多帝國落敗，出現(xiàn)了大量的內(nèi)戰(zhàn)。美國希望有一個穩(wěn)定，民主和自由貿(mào)易的格局，因為它害怕戰(zhàn)后經(jīng)濟的衰退會導(dǎo)致共產(chǎn)主義的人口擴大，因此，美國提供了包括蘇聯(lián)在內(nèi)的歐洲國家大量的金錢來修復(fù)戰(zhàn)爭對其造成的損失，并幫助他們復(fù)蘇經(jīng)濟。蘇聯(lián)和東歐的共產(chǎn)主義國家都拒絕了美國的幫助。直到1952年，美國通過一個重建西歐的計劃（也被稱作馬歇爾計劃）向其投資了133億美元。
