Why for congress agree to pass the Marshall plan?

Congress agreed to pass the Marshall Plan primarily to aid in the economic recovery of Western Europe after World War II, which was seen as crucial for stabilizing the region and preventing the spread of communism. The plan aimed to rebuild war-torn economies, promote political stability, and foster trade, ultimately benefiting U.S. interests. Additionally, there was a strong belief that a prosperous Europe would be a stronger ally against the Soviet Union during the emerging Cold War. The bipartisan support in Congress reflected a consensus on the importance of international cooperation and economic investment in global security.
