The 2nd World War prevented the holding of a World Cup and Europe was totally devastated after 1945 so it took 5 years of reinvigorating and rebuilding from 1945-1950 before FIFa was able to offer a WC. Germany and Japan were excluded from that 1950 competition as punishment for their WW2 responsibilities and excesses.
