How much credit does the US government deserve for establishing democracy and thriving independent economies in the nations it occupied after World War 2?
In the case of West Germany, American aid was essential for the creation of a sound economy, though quite a lot of credit should in fairess also go to the immense hard work that Germans put into reconstruction. Both the economic recovery and the success of democracy owe much to the Cold War and the long post-WW2 boom. Many historians, and most older Germans that I know, say that it was above all the Berlin Airlift of 1948-49 that finally 'swung' public opinion in favour of the West. Many Germans had expected that the West would do a deal with Stalin, possibly swapping West Berlin for Thuringia or something along those lines. They were delighted when the West replied to the blockade with the airlift. West Berlin had a population of about two million and everything except water had to be flown in. Bear in mind, too, how small transport planes were in the late 1940s. After the currency reform of 1948, which was financed by America, the West German economy began to prosper. The following year the West German states agreed on a new, democratic constitution and elected the Bundestag. That said, it took a while for democratic attitudes to become firmly established.

Difference between an autocracy and a democracy?
The main difference between a democratic government and an autocratic government is who controls. In a democracy the government is controlled by the people either through elected representatives or directly by the people. In an autocracy one person, or a group of people have full control, without the participation or consent of the people. For example the US has a representative democracy where we elect representatives to vote on all decisions and North Korea and Cuba are examples of Autocratic nations. The economies of these two governments are also very different. Democratic nations most always have a market system where buyers and sellers decide how to produce, who to produce for, and how much to produce. The government has no say in how business is done. On the other hand, in an autocracy the economy is either a command or traditional system. The government controls all business arrangements in command economies and in traditional, business is done how it's always been done, and that's decided by the ways of their ancestors.
