The Marshall Plan could be understood as part of an American desire to stop the spread of communism.
After World War II, the US was worried about the growing size/influence of the Soviet Union and their communist system. Their main concern was that this system would spread to European countries and eventually the Soviet Union and their communist ideas would infiltrate the US.
