Post-World War II Japan

Post-World War II Japan experienced a period of significant change and recovery. After the war's devastation, the country was occupied by Allied forces, primarily the United States, leading to political, economic, and social reforms. Japan adopted a new peaceful constitution, limiting military power, and focused on rebuilding its economy through industrial growth. The nation transitioned from wartime hardship to become a major global economic power by the 1960s, known for technological innovation and exports. Socially, Japan modernized cultural norms and living standards, laying the groundwork for its current status as a developed, influential country.
