Rebuilding an area you conquered and annexed so that you can use them as auxiliaries and proxies is an age old tactic of empires. The USA wasn’t rebuilding Germany or Japan out of charity, they were being built into war machines to fight the communists

Yeah, Japan was a client state of the USA until the Plaza accords where the west tanked the yen on purpose. Same thing with South Korea.
Now we're watching the plaza accord sequel with the eurozone
Frogs and krauts deserve it though
What was the Korean version? How did the US make it tank?
Was the Asian Tigers burst also orchestrated?
I just meant that South Korea used to be an American client state. I guess it still is.
