Why is western Europe the most powerful in Europe?

Western Europe is more powerful than its eastern counterparts for several reasons. The two most important are: 1) After World War 1, the Allied powers really screwed up making a new map of Europe, so when they were done, every eastern European nation had ethnic minorities that would cause a lot of tensions in the future. 2) From 1945-1990, most of Eastern Europe was under communist rule, which stifled economic growth in the region.

What are possible consequences to the US and the world if the US does not help Europe?

In the event of a serious economic collapse of the European Union, this would cause a global economic depression, since the economies of all nations interconnect, and the EU is a very major part of the global economy. However, we do not know for a fact that Europe will be unable to solve its economic problems without the help of the US. Furthermore, the US has economic problems of its own. It is certainly not obvious that the US is in a position to help Europe even if it wants to do so. Europe and the US both need to get their economic houses in order.
