It sent their economies into further decline--European countries had invested in our stock market and they relied on our financial assistance following the war.
Germany was relying on circular loans from the US which provided funds to help them pay for reparations. After the stock market crash, we were no longer able to aid which stopped money from flowing into Europe. This caused further decline in Europe preventing them from investing in their own countries let along buy goods from the US.
Answer:
Wars cost too much.
That’s really not a surprise. The surprise is how much more they cost than we’ve been told.
It might help to think of the nation’s post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq like a pair of icebergs. The Pentagon tells us how much we’ve each paid for the wars. But that only tells us how much of those icebergs we can see above the waves. While it includes totals for war fighting, it doesn’t track the Pentagon’s bigger war budget, interest paid on money we’ve borrowed to fight the wars, veterans’ care, and other ancillary costs. There’s a whole lot more hidden beneath the waves. The real issue isn’t whether the cost of war is high; the issue is why the U.S. government keeps under-estimating it, and why U.S. citizens and taxpayers keep tolerating it.
Answer: No. Historically, the US took advantage of the benefits of this constitutional law to carry out five occupations in Cuba between 1906 and 1933.
As a political “Cuban Independence Provider”, the United States organized an assembly in 1901 to draft the first Cuban constitution. Approval of the text came only after the US Senate secured approval of the so-called Platt Amendment. In general terms, the amendment served as a legal provision for the US to intervene in the country whenever its economic and political interests in the region were threatened.
In addition to making interference power official, the Platt Amendment offered the Americans an area of 117 square kilometers to build a military base in Guantanamo Bay.
In 1934, the rise of dictator Fulgencio Batista caused the amendment to be replaced by a trade agreement.
