Best Answer

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.

Should developing nations be responsible for the less futunate nations?

In many cases, the "less fortunate" nation is primarily responsible for its own problems; look at desperately-poor North Korea for example, and compare it to neighboring South Korea. Same Korean people; same natural resources. NORK is totalitarian and starving, while the ROK is relatively free and very prosperous. Or compare prosperous Rhodesia, the breadbasket of Africa, to the disaster that Robert Mugabe has created in Zimbabwe. Or East Germany compared to West Germany; same Germans, different political systems. It's the difference between a Trabant and a Mercedes. Totalitarian political systems and communist economies can ruin ANY nation, no matter how much foreign aid they receive.
