After World War II, sparked by economic talks held by the United States and its allies (excluding the Soviet Union) in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, toward the war's end, a number of countries laid the groundwork for a trade agreement that evolved, decades later, into the World Trade Organization.What brought the countries together to do this was:
A) a threat of unilateral economic sanctions by the militarily powerful United States.
B) a fear that some countries essential to battling the Axis powers (Germany, Italy, and Japan) were in danger of economic collapse.
C) pressure from powerful banks, industries, and wealthy individuals in the United States to expand global trade.
D) the fear of a repeat of economic devastation that followed World War I, and the belief of many that 1930s-era economic turmoil had helped cause World War II.
