The US was pretty much the only ones who could rebuild Europe…

Europe could also rebuild Europe, it would just take a lot longer. The US spent a ton of money rebuilding both Europe and Japan, and being able to do that while also transitioning back to a peacetime economy really is something IMO. Not to mention getting embroiled in the Korean war just a few short years later, while still rebuilding after the war.

I don’t really like Truman, but I think he did a decent job after the war.
