Not really responsive to the question, though. We (the Allied powers, particularly the US) went out of our way to give Japan and Germany a helping hand after the war, having seen the problems caused by allowing defeated nations to fall into ruin.

Presumably the post-WW1 era of collapse in Germany, which is usually credited as a major cause of WW2.

No, I meant the Marshall Plan. WWI left Germany in a humiliated condition that eventually led to another war, so they didn't want to repeat the mistake with post-WWII Japan, especially with the Soviets vying for influence in the same part of the world.

The Confederate States of America too.
