Compare West Germany to American Occupation Zone. The nation building was based on starving people to death and destroying any industry as well as R&D capability. It took years of "boots on the ground" reporting about growing discontent because soviet occupation zone "at least had food" till the west german efforts for independent country were accepted, with very strong shackles. And a lot of it was for a proxy war with another empire.
