OP fails to mention that the money given to Western European countries are loans with interestto which Western countries are now indebted.

Vichy ended in 1944. I don't see what it has to do with it.
The real reason was economic to sell in exchange American goods, via loans on top of it, and most importantly to not have a weak German economy for too long as it was what supposedly permitted the rise of Nazis in the first place after WW1 with the reparations, triggering an hyper inflation.
Two world wars in 50 years make some damages but it's not like the standard of living in Europe were low before. If you go by GDP estimation models, West Europe has been wealthier than the US since it exists. You basically have been sending us money for us to keep buying your shit, since nobody else was able to. Europe would do exactly the same thing if any catastrophic event would happen in the US and it wouldn't be what had built US wealth.

I think it is because europeans more literate, individualistic and they respect the rule of law.

This is stupid. Countries are not sworn enemies, they follow the interests of the people who govern them at the moment which are not necessarily those of the general populace. There is no 'you', nor 'we', nor anything of the sort. Unless the purpose of this thread is to bait trolls, I apologize. ;D
Let's not forget the CETA either, which is about to be voted.
