It begins by explaining why Japan spent roughly fifty years building its own colonial system and declaring war on China and the Western Allies, only to decide after military defeats, two atomic bombings and the Soviet declaration of war, to surrender before being invaded. It goes on to describe the controversial issues surrounding the conduct of the Occupation forces, the largely American reform proposals and the shifts in policy as the Cold War developed. Particular emphasis is placed on women's issues, the Japanese and American reactions to President Truman's decision to fire General Douglas MacArthur, the tensions surrounding the requirement that the Japanese allow US military bases to stay in Japan and the still ongoing debate over the American decision to drop two atomic bombs on Japan. Despite all this, the book concludes that particularly when compared with later Allied nation building efforts in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq and the current state of US politics, the Occupation experience was, on the whole, a relatively positive one for both the Japanese and the US-Japan alliance"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Nation-building |zJapan |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Nation-building |zUnited States |xHistory |y20th century. 651 0 Japan |xHistory |yAllied occupation, 1945-1952. 651 0 Japan |xRelations |zUnited States. 651 0 United States |xRelations |zJapan. 650 6 Reconstruction d'une nation |zJapon |xHistoire |y20e siècle. 650 6 Reconstruction d'une nation |zÉtats-Unis |xHistoire |y20e siècle. 651 6 Japon |xHistoire |y1945-1952 (Occupation alliée) 776 08 |iOnline version:Frost, Peter K. |tNation building in Japan, 1945-1952 |dAbingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2024 |z9781003384304 |w(DLC) 2023047750 830 0 Routledge studies in the modern history of Asia. 902 010002796 |wcopy |120240819114631.0 910 |cC0710mon |d3110-10 |gYBP 914 (OCoLC)on1401654683 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240821 |eprocessed |f1401654683 960 |o1 |zUSD 961 |fASP |m311010 |nCloth 980 20511796 |i170.00 982 |cf 984 20240417 |b124003 |cYBP-US
