Rebuild

At the end of WW 2 Europe was mostly destroyed and this was especially true in Germany. The US came to the rescue sending money and engineers to rebuild. Within 5 years Europe was back to the pre war times but with all new buildings and equipment. The post–World War II economic expansion, also known as the postwar economic boom or the Golden Age of Capitalism, was a broad period of worldwide economic expansion beginning after World War II and ending with the 1973–1975 recession If the Ukraine war ended today within five years the country could be rebuilt with all new homes and manufacturing facilities. The world would once again have the huge quantities of food and minerals which it desperately needs.
