What!? Banks gave out loans so people could rebuild? Even after the lend lease program?
Countries must have been devastated and then had to swear fealty to America as a result.
Checks note
Number of countries that have to do what the U.S. tells them: zero.
Let me do the most basic of research…
From Wikipedia:
"The U.S. rebuilt Europe after WWII primarily through the
Marshall Plan (European Recovery Program, 1948–1951), providing over $13 billion (approx. $150+ billion in 2017 dollars) in aid to 16 Western European nations. The assistance was mostly grants (~90%), not loans, designed to rebuild infrastructure, boost industrial production, and curb communist influence."
I guess your fantasy is just that, a fantasy.
The only pull the U.S. has is the that the plutocrats in their own countries stand to make money too.
