What happened at the end of WWII? How did the US help rebuild postwar Europe and Japan?

Europe was in ruins!! Much of Europe was in ruins following World War II. Soviet forces occupied most of Eastern and Central Europe and the eastern portion of Germany. The United States felt it was in its best interest to rebuild Europe and prevent political and economic instability.

1.Creation of the United Nations The United Nations was formed near the end of World War II to create a body for the nations of the world to try to prevent future global wars.

2. The United States occupied Japan. Following its defeat, Japan was occupied by American forces. It soon adopted a democratic form of government, resumed self- government, and became a strong ally of the United States.

3. Germany was split between East and West. Germany was partitioned into East and West Germany. West Germany became democratic and resumed self- government after a few years of American, British, and French occupation. East Germany remained under the domination of the Soviet Union and did not adopt democratic institutions.

4. Marshall Plan The United States instituted George C. Marshall’s plan to rebuild Europe (the Marshall Plan), which provided massive financial aid to rebuild European economies and prevent the spread of communism.
