The Western allies rebuilt Germany after World War II to promote stability and prevent the spread of communism in Europe. The Marshall Plan, initiated in 1948, provided financial assistance to help revive the German economy, fostering democratic governance and integration into the Western political and economic framework. This reconstruction aimed to create a prosperous and stable Germany that could serve as a bulwark against Soviet influence during the Cold War. Ultimately, this effort contributed to the long-term peace and prosperity of Western Europe.
