Cooperative necessity. It is not just the US, after the war many nations in Europe had to live together even if there was bad blood between them.
Often it was an uneasy peace, but after the destructions of the war many economies needed to rebuild. And so they needed each other. This mutual need is a good basis for better relationships.

Also only fools hold on to a grudge against relatives of enemies of their (grand)parents. If our hose before us had not learned to outgrow their history none of us would be alive today.
