If the US did not step into WWII, at some point there would be a new world order, with or without the US intervention... 50 years after WWII is a long time and no one knows what would have happened if the US would not have stepped in.Actually I was thinking a lot more recent than that- Berlin wall and Russian tanks and all that?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
