After World War II, Western Europe was significantly influenced by the United States through economic aid, military alliances, and political support, particularly during the Cold War. Countries like West Germany, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom benefited from the Marshall Plan, which aimed to rebuild their economies. The establishment of NATO further solidified U.S. influence by providing collective security against the Soviet Union. In contrast, Eastern Europe fell under Soviet influence, creating a stark divide in the continent.
