Europe was broke from two World Wars.  They were already in poor economic shape before the war.  France was once again devastated by fighting on its territories.  Germany, the greatest European power, was divided into two zones, one controlled by the Soviet Union, and the other by France, UK, and the US, though the US had all the power.  Though the USSR was also devastated by the war, the battle of Stalingrad being the most deadly of the war, they quickly rebounded by treating Eastern Europe as an essential colony and stripping war material from East Germany.  The United States had been on the assent for some time, and would have become a superpower regardless of the war, but it just made them that much more powerful that potential German or British challengers.  During the war, at the meeting of Yalta between Roosevelt and Stalin, it was agreed that the USSR would get de factor control over Eastern Europe to administer it as it saw fit.  Later agreements led to the division of conquered Japanese territory, such as Korea.  This division was intended to only be temporary. But because of the ideological differences between the two, it quickly became clear that the U.S. and the USSR would become competitors.  While this led to proxy war in Korea, in Europe it devolved into a stalemate.  KGB battled the CIA, with both rigging elections through the continent.  Berlin was blockade from receiving food, with the West airdropping food in response.  Eventually it became the situation of the iron curtain, with a divided Europe, each side reliant on a superpower to prevent from becoming a battleground between the two. Though some countries showed some independence, mainly France and Yugoslavia, they were largely required to toe the line or fear losing protection.

WW1 ended with the Treaty of Versailles.  The terms of the Treaty imposed harsh conditions on Germany.  Germany could not have a standing army, land was taken from Germany and the German nation was forced to pay huge sums in reparations.  The enconomy was experience hyperinflation.  This is where the money loses its value, almost to the point of being worthless.  People would ask to be paid at noon so they could run out and spend it---because by the end of the day their pay would only be worth half as much.  There are pictures of men pushing wheelbarrows FULL of German money down the street.\n\nHitler was a WW1 hero.  He saw the problems that Germany was facing under the unjust terms of the Versailles treaty.  He saw the wreck the economy was in.  There were no jobs for German citizens in the private sector, so Hitler created huge government projects that employed millions of Germans.  As the people went back to work, their apathy dissipated.  Hitler gained even more power, and in time was able to repudiate the Versailles Treaty and raise an army.\n\nthis is just the tip of the iceberg.  Read and study more about pre-WWII Germany.

I don't know of any sites to direct you to...\n\nbut you might want to research the economic situation of the countries after WWI...hyperinflation and social instability, which paved the path for Hitler's rise to power.\n\nI would also investigate WHY this happened: the treaty signed punishing Germany, so that they were in the aforementioned economic position...

The wartime allies (the United States, the Soviet Union, and Britain) began to quarrel as soon as the Nazi threat lessened.\nThe Americans and British decided to postpone questions about the makeup of postwar Europe.\nStalin, however, wanted decisions made with regard to postwar borders.\nThe Big Three at Teheran (1943) decided to launch an AmericanBritish invasion of Hitler's empire via France, and a Soviet invasion of eastern Europe.\nAt the Yalta Conference (1945), the Allies decided to divide Germany into occupation zones.\nIt was also agreed that Germany would pay heavy reparations to Russia.\nStalin agreed to declare war on Japan after Germany was defeated.\nThe Yalta Compromise over eastern Europe broke down almost immediately.\nAt the Potsdam Conference (1945), Truman demanded free elections throughout eastern Europe, but Stalin refused.\nStalin believed that eastern European states must not be anti-Soviet.\nHe feared that free elections would result in possibly hostile governments on his western border.\nShort of war, the United States could not really influence developments in eastern Europe.\nWest versus East\nTruman cut off aid to Russia because of Stalin's insistence on having communist governments in eastern Europe.\nBy 1947, many Americans believed that Stalin was trying to export communist revolution throughout Europe and the world.\nThe Marshall Plan was established to help European economic recovery; the Truman Doctrine was meant to ward off communist subversion with military aid.\nThe Soviet blockade of Berlin led to a successful Allied airlift.\nIn 1949, the United States formed an antiSoviet military alliance of Western governments, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO); in return, Stalin united his satellites in the Warsaw Pact.\nIn 1949, communists won in China.\nIn 1950, when communist North Korea invaded the south, Americanled UN troops intervened.\nThe American General MacArthur wanted to invade China but President Truman said no and fired him; in 1953 a Korean truce was negotiated.\nThe Western attempt to check Stalin probably came too late and may have encouraged Russian aggression.\nThe Western renaissance\nA divided and economically weak Europe made a huge turn-around within a generation after 1945.\nThe postwar challenge\nThe war left Europe physically devastated and in a state of economic and moral crisis.\nFood rationing was necessary.\nRussia's border had been pushed west, as was Poland's; thus, many Germans were forced to resettle in a greatly reduced Germany.\nAll the Allies treated Germany harshly.\nNew leaders and new parties, especially the Catholic Christian Democrats, emerged in Italy, France, and Germany and provided effective leadership and needed reforms.\nIn many countries, such as Britain, France, and Italy, socialists and communists emerged from the war with considerable power and a strong desire for social reform.\nThe Marshall Plan aided in economic recovery and led to the Organization for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC); military protection was provided through NATO.\nLed by West Germany, a European economic miracle was underway by 1963.\nAmerican aid helped get the process off to a fast start.\nEuropean nations adopted Keynesian policies to stimulate their economies.\nUnder Erhard, Germany adopted a freemarket economy, a social welfare network, currency reform, and price controls.\nUnder Monnet, flexible planning and a mixed state and private economy brought rapid growth to France.\nGreat potential demand (for products such as refrigerators), abandonment of protectionism, and the creation of the Common Market stimulated the economy.\nToward European unity\nDemocratic republics were reestablished in France, West Germany, and Italy.\nThe Christian Democrats wanted a unified Europe, but economic unity proved to be more realistic than political unity under the Council of Europe.\nThe sixnation Coal and Steel Community marked the beginning of a movement

I didn't realize that the USA gave aid to France. I could of swore aid to France ended in 1959. And it was limited aid in the form of Marshall Plan reconstruction money.\n\nIndonesia's gov't is pro-USA. It is a nation of mixed religions...and the Muslims there hate us. Indonesia is a booming nation, full of natural resources. So the USA gives them about 30 million a year in aid, most of it military aid to battle insurgents!

It all depends on the activities you want to focus on.  For example, in the U. S. local and federal government help non Profit's and NGO's when focused on job creation or technological research but if you are focused (and this works mostly if you want to work on an international level) on poverty and hunger relief, health, human rights and preservation of native cultures all around the world, the big money is in Europe, either from European Governments or bigger NGO's.

After the united states congress denied to accept the 14 point plan of the 14th point the league of nations; because American wanted to remain isolated from Europe. The countries of Europe just said hey then we will make our own treaty. So everyone but the triple alliance Austria-Hungry was split and the government was gone, Italy pulled out at the begging to join the entente; the ottoman empire fell apart, and Germany was the only country that still had a government (even if it wasn't the cause of the war) to stand for the entente.\n\nSo the entente, basically France, Britain and Russia(Russia pulled too but still took credit). But they got together and left out Germany and this is what they did. \n\n*Billed Germany for the WHOLE war even if austria-hungry\n started it.\n*Germany was not allowed to build military weapons, but hitler never got that note.\n*Most of their trade production and food was sent to the \nentente, and Germany had basically no food or steel or anything.\n*And i think that a good soical thing that Germans after the first world war were like the scum of europe, till world war II where they had a total head trip, but had a reason.

I think like most of Europe between the wars, France had a lot of economic woes. They had gained Alsace-Lorraine back from Germany after losing the territory in the 19th century which was a moral boost. Still, the country was in great debt. As a matter of fact, I've actualy read that France still hasn't entirely paid back to the US money it borrowed during WW1.You have to understand, most of World War 1 actually took place on French soil so they had heavy losses- both economic and in terms of life.\n\nI think much of this set the stage for french defeat in World War 2. They didn't want another  long war and quickly gave up.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt  wanted to help the allies as a neutral nation.  After Sunday,7 December 1941 Pearl Harbor attack by Japan;the next day the Germans declared war against the US . America legally and officially declared war on Thursday,11 December 1941.  Europe would get help first and then Japan was second.\n\n\n\nGood night y'all.

No it was not.  It singled out Germany for punitive measures and not the Austro-Hungarian Empire for such measures.  It so financially was hard for Germany and led to WWII.

hmmmm. that one is tricky. but take ww2 for ex. the war was a big boost for the economy esp. since it started during the depression. it gave people jobs. and helped with the stock market. socially it wasn't so great though it did help people by boosting there moral as in getting jobs. but on the German front it was devastating to Jews and anyone the Germans persecuted. long term it ended up bringing Communism which as we all know isn't that great. so basically you are looking for anything that would be kinda like that where you could see a drastic impact on all fronts. good luck. hope i helped if not sorry.
