Many other countries have struggled to reconcile their differences after lesser conflicts, so what events and policies made peace among us something we most take for granted?
In: 25
Because WW1.
Turns out, when you push a nation to the ground, you tend to antagonize the shit out of the Populus. which allows people that actively dislikes you to gain immediate power.
So post WW2, instead of making enemies, assistance was granted in financial and “military”, and keeping in check the any potential anti US factions from rising to power.
For reference, WW1 Germany was told to pay 132 billion gold marks.
WW2 Germany was told to pay only several billion, but technology, manufacturing, and land would be taken instead of crushing debt.
