I'm not saying that things were hunky-dory by any stretch, but looking at the horror stories from most of the world, Japan seems tonhave been considerably less fucked over. Why?

    It was in America's best interest to flood Japan (and Germany) with resources for reconstruction to make capitalism look better than communist countries reconstructing with limited resources

    The US controls the military of Japan and South Korea. I can't think of any sane world in which this is considered independent lol
