The United States wanted to limit the spread of communism, but the Soviet Union did not.

Chivas · Answer 2

The United States intervention into European countries after World War II was completely different than the Soviet Union because the United States was trying to spread democracy and stop the spread of communism. On the other hand, the Soviet Union was trying to spread the system of communism to other countries.

This battle between the US and Soviet Union for global power and influence resulted in the creation of the Cold War. This ideological battle saw the ideas of capitalism face off against a communist system. To prevent the spread of communism, the United States gave billions of dollars in aid to countries negatively impacted by World War II in hopes that they would stay away from implementing a communist government.
