If we don't stay and help the new government get set up. Another tyrant wil take power. \nThis same issue was faced in WWI but we didn't keep a good check on it so Hitler had it easy while taking power

An extract from President Wilson’s speech to Congress requesting US entry into WW1:\n\n…Peace cannot be had without concession and sacrifice. There can be no sense of safety and equality among the nations if great preponderating armaments are henceforth to continue here and there to be built up and maintained…\n\nAnd in holding out the expectation that the people and government of the United States will join the other civilized nations of the world in guaranteeing the permanence of peace upon such terms as I have named I speak with the greater boldness and confidence because it is clear to every man who can think that there is in this promise no breach in either our traditions or our policy as a nation, but a fulfillment, rather, of all that we have professed or striven for.\n\nThe world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty. We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no conquest, no dominion. We seek no indemnities for ourselves, no material compensation for the sacrifices we shall freely make. We are but one of the champions of the rights of mankind. We shall be satisfied when those rights have been made as secure as the faith and the freedom of nations can make them. \n\n\nThe entire text of the speech can be found at: http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/ww18.htm

Its the country have a avearge fix budget,then increasing its spending on its military strenght would mean that there is less spending in other areas...like social development etc etc.\n\nincreasing its spending on military will also make the surrounding nation more suspisious.\nThe fact that a country begin to spend more on military hardware means something...and ost of the times,offensive purpose.\nThis usually can lead of various political unstability.

I like the first answer!\n\nHowever, I'll give in and give a bit more information.\n\nLook at Germany after WWI.  They were devastated, morally and economically.  They were supposed to pay gigantic reparations which realistically they could never pay.  Thus, they fell into a huge depression and were quite vulnerable to anyone who promised to "save" them.  A little wimpy untalented artist named hitler used incredible propaganda to bolster himself and his disgusting ideas.

Basically what we now call nation-building.  League of Nations - global economic realities.  Love this quote:  "A progressive country would be one where the people were able to take care of themselves."

Thats what the socialists (democrats) do, so it must be ok.\n\n\nedit* actually, in all honesty, that is what government does.  It spends the states money on its citizens.  It's just that the democrats want to give things to the people who do not contribute.

During WWII, there was a real need for soldiers to get supplies that were essential for them to fight: food, gasoline, rubber and the like.  The US's ability to get some of these was further hampered by disruptions to shipping due to the war.  Therefore, rationing was set up to ensure that there would be no worries about leaving the soldiers in poor supply, as well as making sure the general public was adequately provisioned. \nPeople got stamp books for certain goods, with varying levels depending on the scarcity of the goods.  People also had a point system which they could use to figure out what they could get. \nNot shockingly, there was a black market that sprung up of people selling extra goods for a profit.  The government tried to convince people to honor the ration system and avoid the black market.\nThere was also a very strong propaganda effort to help ensure that people sacrificed and did not waste and helped the war effort. People were also encouraged to use substitutes, grow their own food, and join carpooling clubs.

All the wealth and property was sold to the USA to buy Military equipment in the early stages of the Second World War. \nWhen all possible assets had been sold President Roosevelt created 'Lend / Lease' which meant that the equipment now being given to Britain remained the property of the USA (lend) unless it was destroyed, then it had to be paid for (lease).

As you know, WW1 started with the assassination of an Austrian leader. At the end of WW1, Germany was still in a depressed state (like economic depression), and the time was ripe for new radical leadership with the ousting of the old. This new radical leadership, along with the newly invented propaganda machine of television, and Germany's economic state of despair, were the reasons for WW2. Hitler believed expansion of his "kingdom" (third Reich) was essential for Germany's economic prosperity. And at the time, gold was a limited supply, same as today, except that all money was backed by gold. Today, money is not backed by gold. And a limited supply of money made war an economical advantage, they war, they win, they take your gold. Today war is an economical burdon, it is not for gold, but for power.

finance, theory and practice of conducting large public and private dealings in money. Important institutions of private finance include those that deal with insurance, banking, stocks (see stock), bonds, and other securities. With the development of the national state, public finance—the management of the revenues, expenditures, and debts of the state—has been of great political, as well as economic, importance. The most important source of government revenue is taxes, but sale of public properties and franchises, as well as the sale of interest-bearing bonds, also contribute. Since the Korean War, a large part of governmental expenditures has gone for various military and defense needs. Other important areas of governmental expenditure are health, education, and welfare (the Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid programs); interest on the national debt; and public works. Important institutions of international finance are the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the International Monetary Fund.
