Answer 2

Countries began to make trade blocs in the 1940's due to the War. The more countries put restrictions on who and where they could trade with, the less supplies their enemies would have. Also, countries like the United States did not want to get involved, and trade blocs were legalized, defensive ways of remaining uninvolved.
