In layman's terms: After the First World War Germany got a really raw deal this was a contributing factor to the Second World War, so the U.S was afraid of a third one and they gave western Europe loans to ensure stability and prosperity. Also they were afraid that weak, poor European countries would be more susceptible to communist revolution.
