It facilitated European Economy recovery and consolidated the USA position as the World Financing superpower.
Explanation:
The Marshall Plan was launched in 1947 in order to rebuild Europe, it included loans of over 13 billion dollars. It made European countries dependent on the USA and was refused by Soviet-occupied countries in Eastern Europe.
Europe is the key geopolitical region in the world that needs to be controlled to ensure an American world order according to geopolitical scholars such as McKinder or Zbigniew Bzrezinki. It is clearly stated in ZB's book The Grand Chessboard: http://www.takeoverworld.info/Grand_Chessboard.pdf
It thus explains such a scramble on Europe by the USA.
