Because Euprope were so into the war, they participated more in WW1 more than the United States. This caused a big disaster on their crops, because i think it was being neglecting because many Europeans focused on the war other than harvesting. They ended up purchasing food from the US. Because the US didn't spend too much of their money in WW1 but they did in WW2 which lead them into a big recession called the great depression.
