The United States did not prevent communism after World War II, but it did attempt to slow its spread. Two of the best examples of this are the Korean War and the Berlin Airlift.
In the Korean War, the United States assisted the fledgling South Korean government when the communist North Koreans invaded.
When the Soviet Union attempted to strangle Berlin, the United States flew nonstop missions to deliver much needed food, supplies and medicine (the Berlin Airlift).
Small proxy wars were fought all over the globe, most of which never directly involved the two 'superpowers.' This worldwide game of chess was repeated throughout the Cold War.
the US govenment provide money and lots of machine to support the need of industry development of W.E. , and improve the living level of Europeans.
FOR ODYSSEYWARE:
by rebuilding the European economy through the Marshall Plan
The Marshall Plan devised by former WWII head of the Joint Chief of Staff George Marshall, inaugurated by Harry S. Truman, sent aid to all of the countries of Europe to help rebuild following the war. Truman and Marshall wanted to avoid the mistakes of the Treaty of Versailles after WWI, and begin rebuilding war torn Europe quickly, and without apportioning blame, crippling war reparations, or runaway inflation.

World War I had NOTHING to do with communism. Yea. It was during and after WWII. And the main country that fought to spread is was the Soviet Union, or Russia.
No one believed the rise of communism was a greater threat than Germany during WWII. Western Europe was allied with communist Russia during WWII, so they did not wish to destroy their ally. It wasn't until after WWII that fear shifted to the rise of communism, as communism spread all over Eastern Europe and even divided Germany.
