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.
