No taxes could be collected because the people were poor and had hardly anything to eat. The United States at this time was the richest nation in the world.

The United States came up with the Marshall Plan and offered to help the European countries to recover from the effects of the war. Russia and its allies turned down the offer of assistance. The Marshall plan was a success and all the countries who accepted help recovered.
