Hi, I'm going to answer this with some of my general knowledge.

During the time of the World War and after, there was a lot of resentment of the government by the American people. They felt that our government was too concerned with foreign affairs when there were so many domestic problems happening at home: racism, sexism, homophobia etc.

Also, after the War, the economy was booming and healthy. More African-Americans were apart of the middle class and stable enough to concern themselves with the Civil Rights Movement.

One other thing is the rise of Civil Rights Activists like Martin Luther King or Malcolm X or groups like The Black Panthers at the time.

This helped propel the Civil Rights agenda.

In the chart below, examine the reactions of various groups to the Marshall Plan. Then fill out the rest of the chart with

Mamont248 [21]

Based on the reactions to the Marshall plan, the following are the explanations:

Western Europe - It would lead to their economies recovering.
Eastern Europe - Wanted their economies to recover as well.
Soviet Union - Did not want to lose control of her Soviet satellites.
United States - Would prevent Communism and increase American trade.

<h3>Why were nations opposed or in favor of the Marshall plan?</h3>

The plan saw the United States sending massive aid to European nations. Both Western and Eastern European nations needed it to rebuild their economy but the Soviet Union refused for the Eastern Europeans to access the plan.

The Soviet Union was worried that the plan would allow for the United States to gain influence in Eastern Europe and so were against it.

The Americans were in favor because a strong European economy meant that America could trade with them and it would also prevent Communism from spreading.
