Europe (especially France) was devastated after the First World War. Harvests were not gathered extensively for a long time afterwards, as the war had destroyed not only the current crops, but also the land and facilities. As such, European nations were forced to purchase excess food from the United States, allowing the US to grow while they themselves continued to fall.
