For perspective, not having a dominating superpower and not supplying enough foreign aid after WWI cost the world about 2.5% of the population and nearly all of its economic output for about 6 years...
That is equivalent to roughly $10-12 trillion a year from the united States every year in 2014 economic terms, and roughly 180 million people killed in today's population statistics.
