Were the Japanese grateful or spiteful towards the Allies after WW2? They lost the war and were bombed, but at the same time they were liberated from an authoritarian and tyrannical imperial regime and became a free developed society.

They were probably not grateful then since the population were still indoctrinated by Japanese wartime propaganda, but they are probably certainly grateful now that they are a first world country and one of the top economies in the world thanks to our postwar assistance.

A myth.


They were grateful. Especially since America was very lenient in its governance post-war. Americans even let out an excuse for the Emperor himself, even though most historians say the Emperor had a good chunk of responsibility as he was directing some of the orders himself.

The rebuilding of Japan via American help made a positive contribution. The economic boom that followed helped cement that. With regards to both Germany and Japan, they both try to forget their past and move towards a better future.

America did not rebuild Japan. It provided some meaningful aid, which is not nothing but a far cry from rebuilding a country.

They traded a land empire for a trade monopoly on SEA by lieu of controlling American goods flowing in and SEA good flowing out. The average nationalist probably didn’t care for it but everyone in between from big family names that became automotive giants to illiterate peasants who’s kid is a doctor and racing in the Mid Nite Club.

And here's this dumbass who thinks Japan in 50s and 60s were powerful enough to tell countries they can't trade with America.

Japs were complacent, because Jap emperor let Americans buttfuck him on camera.

Japanese nationalists were never too happy about American domination.

?
American ships had to pass through Japanese ports and in many cases it was cheaper to use Japanese shipping for such tasks as the Marshall plan had the US merchant navy pretty strapped for vessels and there wasn’t a war economy to pump out more.
This results in profit for japan as well as accomplishing america’s goals
Also the mid night club was like late 80’s early 90’s really, I spoke in the long term - that generation was just starting to die off at that point

The Japanese people were undoubtedly stunned at the end of the war. After years of propaganda and little reportage of the significant losses they'd suffered, the whole thing came crashing down in the span of less than a year. It was a wise move to keep the emperor around in that circumstance, however clumsily they arrived at that decision and implementation.

Because Americans and the Japanese Left successfully blamed the war on the Militarist-Traditionalists fault, and not the whole damn country's.

No OP, they weren't grateful for receiving the single biggest destructive force in history, twice. But they were too broken to be spiteful either. They were obedient, and latet became more hospitable to the capitalist ideal as the economy boomed. They still aren't grateful for getting nuked... retarded mutts.

were german people spiteful or hateful towards ussr and the usa? After all they saved them from nazism...

Japs were so badly beaten after 100% buying into the indoctrination of their system that it kind of fucked them up. Everything they knew had to be wrong because they were told they would win and didn't. So they let the US write their constitution, adopted Democracy and capitalism because they figured "if the guys who beat our asses so bad won using this, is must be a better system" and it worked for them for a long time. We pulled out in less than a decade and they became the second largest economy. Then we sold them out to the Communist Chinese.

Letting US lawyers write your constitution isn't a sign of weakness. It's just the most rational thing to do, considering US legal tradition has the most experience and expertise with constitutional law. Many countries hired US lawyers to write or rewrite their constitutions, and many more base their constitutions on the US constitution.

Was your mom grateful or spiteful towards my dick after last night? She lost the anal virginity and was creampied, but at the same time she was liberated from a sexless marriage and became a cockhungry little slut.

Basing your constitution is one thing and perfectly fine. If I had to start a country I'd do the same. What happened in Japan was that it imposed overreaching policy that we don't even have because a bunch of inexperienced people were given free reign. We created their education system, wrote in civil and women's rights (in fucking 1945 because 2 women who weren't even lawyers were picked up by SCAP to help write the constitution Eleanor Hadley
& Beate Sirota Gordon) and imposed article 9 which they still haven't been able to remove (which is extra shit considering China's military gains also military industry was big for Japan's economy but now it's restricted). It was one of the most liberal constitutions at the time it was created. I'm not even saying it's wrong today, desu it's more reflective of the modern times. But having all of that imposed it while Germany is literally running Europe today after ruining it is kind of fucked up.

Japan is evidently perfectly content with what you are calling overreaching policy because none of those clauses have been repealed. Japanese courts have worked with them, including Art 9, and shaped the written constitution into their own institution. That's how constitutional law works. You shouldn't pretend to know what Japanese constitution is until you've read the body of case law based on it. If you had, you wouldn't be making such uninformed posts

To be fair. The U.S wasn't an asshole to Germany even during WWI. If the U.S let the French and Brits have it completely there would be no West Germany.

Also are you suggesting that civil rights and women's rights were some radical newfangled ideas in 1945? Because if you do, you should take a look at some of the other constitutions drafted before or around that time.
