Japanese history: Postwar Especially during the first half of the occupation, Japan's media was subject to a rigid censorship of any anti-American statements and controversial topics such as the race issue. Japan was also forbidden to ever lead a war again or to maintain an army. Japan basically lost all the territory acquired after 1894. www.japan-guide.com /e/e2124.html

History of Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Japan was also involved in the post-war Allied intervention in Russia, occupying Russian (Outer) Manchuria and also north Sakhalin (with its rich oil reserves). Japan emerged as a significant power in many economic spheres, including steel working, car manufacture and the manufacture of electronic goods. Japan believed war to be inevitable due to increasing tension with the US. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/History_of_Japan

Occupied Japan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In February 1947, Japan's workers were ready to call a general strike, in an attempt to take over their factories; MacArthur warned that he would not allow such a strike to take place, and the unions eventually relented, making them lose face and effectively subduing them for the remainder of the occupation. It also restricted Japan to spending no more than 1% of its budget on defenses, effectively ensuring that it would never be a military power again (although as of 2004 there was an active movement to repeal the clause). Once Japan's wartime leaders were weeded out, a generation of junior officers was ready to take command of the country. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Occupied_Japan_Post_WWII

Encyclopedia article on Post-Occupation Japan [EncycloZine] Japan continued to experience Westernization in the postwar era, much of which came about during the occupation, when American soldiers were a common sight in many parts of the country. Japan did this on the same day it signed the San Francisco Treaty: Yoshida Shigeru and Harry Truman penned a document that allowed the United States Armed Forces to continue their use of bases in Japan. Japan Airlines flight 123 crashed in Omitaka-yama causing 520 deaths and only 4 survivors in one of the largest aircraft related casualty. encyclozine.com /Post-Occupation_Japan

Japan after WWII The role played by the United States during the Allied force occupation in Japan from September 1945 through 1952 changed the face and fate of Japan. Japan was firstly demilitarized, and steps were taken to bring forth "a peacefully inclined and responsible government." Industry was to be adequate for peacetime needs, but war-potential industries were forbidden. Japan’s future will be based on one democratic and liberal system. www.empereur.com /DOC/Japan_occup.html

Anime @ Lakewood Public Library - Index Set against the conquest of Earth by an alien empire, and drawing parallels to the post-WW2 occupation of Japan, Captain Harlock, together with those who will become his lifelong friends, battle against tyranny no matter what the cost. During the long war to overthrow the corrupt government, he was known throughout all Japan as the Hitokiri Battousai ("sword-bearing master assassin"). As they fight the evil Illumidus Empire, the message of the film shines through: that one must stand up for one's beliefs, even when everyone else believes that slavery and suffering are preferable to the sharper pains endured by those who fight for freedom. www.lkwdpl.org /anime/animeweekend.php

It is also spoken as a second language by Chinese and Korean people who lived under Japanese occupation during the first half of the 20th century.

Socialism Today - The US occupation of Japan Japan’s post-war radicalisation had seen union ranks swell from 380,000 at the end of 1945 to 5.6 million a year later. JOHN DOWER’S Pulitzer Prize-winning study of the military occupation of Japan after World War II raises issues of great relevance today in the light of US plans for a lengthy occupation of Iraq. They overlook the obvious, that the Korean war and strategic rivalry with Japan’s ‘communist’ neighbours forced US imperialism to bankroll the country’s post-war expansion with a largesse that has been noticeably absent in today’s world, for example in Afghanistan and the Balkans. www.socialismtoday.org /74/japan.html   (1405 words)

Is Iraq the New Japan? - What the post-World War II occupation of Japan can teach us about ruling Iraq. By David Greenberg The Japanese were ready to refute and punish their own leaders and to "embrace defeat," in the pithy phrase of MIT historian John Dower—whose definitive book on the occupation should be read by every Bush official taken with the Japanese example. Not only was Japan's existing constitution, dating from 1890, jettisoned, but MacArthur audaciously rejected the new draft proposed by the postwar Japanese government and had his staff write another—modeled after the U.S. Constitution, only more progressive. Yet if officials are looking to post-World War II Japan for pointers on running the Saddam-less pit of postwar Iraq, they should study not just the similarities between the two situations but also the signal differences. slate.msn.com /id/2072689   (1366 words)

It also restricted Japan to spending no more than 1% of its budget on defenses, to prevent Japan from becoming an aggressive military power (although as of 2004 there was an active movement to repeal the clause). The Allies dismantled Japan's zaibatsu: only their factories remained, in the hands of a wide array of corporations which eventually coalesced into what are now known as keiretsu. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Occupied_Japan   (1381 words)

Japan's Economy (High Growth Era, Mature Economy, Bubble Economy, Industrial Sector, Postwar Japan, Problems) Japan was a major beneficiary of the swift growth attained by the postwar world economy, under the principles of free trade advanced by the International Monetary Fund and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. The primary characteristic of Japan's postwar economy is the 15-year period of high growth, beginning in the mid-1950's, that enabled it to catch up with the developed economies of Europe and the United States. In 1952, at the close of the Allied Occupation, Japan was a "less-developed country," with a per capita consumption roughly one fifth that of the United States. www.asianinfo.org /asianinfo/japan/economy.htm   (1363 words)

Al-Ahram Weekly Special Resisting occupation Leith Kubba, a prominent Iraqi analyst and professor at the Washington-based National Endowment for Democracy who attended the conference, insisted that the role of the UN was vital in post-war Iraq, and he rejected any American bids to impose military rule. The one-day meeting brought together 300 rank and file members of the Iraqi opposition in exile, along with representatives from the five states with permanent members on the UN Security Council and diplomats from Japan and Turkey. There will have to be coordination between the Iraqi opposition and Arab and Muslim nations to stand up to this occupation. weekly.ahram.org.eg /2003/632/sc4.htm   (350 words)

OxBlog KRISTOF ON OCCUPATION: " Sensitivity and diplomacy managed to turn around public opinion [toward the US] in Japan and Germany." Funny, I thought it had something to do with the fact that people actually resented Hitler. In this post, I'm going to respond to three separate charges against Arnett that have been raised both by Josh's response to my original post as well as by multiple readers who have sent in their thoughts. FOLLOWING UP ON DAVID'S POST, the AP is reporting this morning on a warehouse south of Baghdad loaded with Arabic documents on how to engage in chemical warfare as well as bottles of atropine, a nerve agent antidote. oxblog.blogspot.com /2003_03_30_oxblog_archive.html   (350 words)

WorldPeace - "little George reveals his post annihilation Iraq occupation plan" by John WorldPeace on daily press photos - World Peace Modeled on the occupation of Japan after World War Two, this vision includes a limited initial role for the Iraqi opposition in a post-Saddam world, according to the New York Times, which first reported the plan. A senior official told Reuters a military occupation was ''one of many possibilities, depending how things turn out in Iraq,'' but he insisted the United States has no plans to ''conquer territory or establish new bases.'' Exiled Iraqi dissidents working with the State Department on a Future of Iraq Project are dispirited by what many see as a lack of sincere U.S. commitment to Iraqi democracy. www.johnworldpeace.com /e021011e.html   (350 words)

The Next MacArthur - Who will run Iraq after the war? By Chris Suellentrop Prior to the occupation, MacArthur's knowledge of Japan consisted of a "mixture of prejudice, presumption, and grand bromides," according to the historian Dower. But the Bush administration has repeatedly stated that the military should not be involved in nation-building (or "post-conflict reconstruction," as it's sometimes called), so it stands to reason that Abizaid will help direct the military side of the occupation—finding and destroying weapons of mass destruction and hunting down terrorist cells—rather than the civilian side. Japan was given no sovereignty, no diplomatic relations, its citizens were barred from traveling abroad, and its flag and national anthem were banned. slate.msn.com /id/2079391   (350 words)

The Globalist Global History -- The U.S. Occupation of Japan — Four Lessons for Iraq What the history of the U.S. occupation of Japan shows is that even in the case of a highly homogenous, disciplined, unarmed nation, regime change is very difficult, possibly impossible. The U.S. occupation of Japan — there were, by the way, other nations present, but this was, as in Iraq, overwhelmingly an American show — was initially seen as a huge success. After their tour of duty with the U.S. government in post-war Japan, a good number of these experts turned to academia — with the result that centers of excellence on Japan were established in many leading U.S. universities. www.theglobalist.com /DBWeb/printStoryId.aspx?StoryId=3711   (350 words)
