Read the passage and answer the following questions At the end of the Second World War, Japan was defeated, her economy was in ruins with a large proportion of her factories and a quarter of her housing destroyed by bombing. Until 1952, she was occupied by Allied troops, mostly American under the command of General MacArthur. For the first three years, the Americans aimed at making sure that Japan could never start a war; she was forbidden from having armed forces and was given a democratic constitution. Americans did not at this stage seem concerned about restoring the Japanese economy. But during 1948,the American attitude gradually changed as the Cold War developed. Europe and Kuomintang crumbled in China. They felt a strong need for an ally in South-East Asia and began to encourage Japanese economic recovery. From 1950,industry developed rapidly and by and by 1953 production had reached a high level. American occupying forces were withdrawn in April 1952 though some troops remained for defence purposes. Japan’s rapid recovery was possible because Americans gave them vital help. Japanese goods were allowed into American markets on favourable terms and the USA supplied aid and equipments. An economically health Japan meant a buffer against communism in South-east Asia. The Korean War brought orders for military equipment and supplies and American firms began to co-operate with the Japanese on the development of new industries. The alliance with the USA protected Japan and she was able to invest money in industry instead of defence. Japan’s farmers benefitted by the reforms , carried out by the American. She also had a series of stable governments, which implemented the suggested reforms effectively. Given all these advantages, it is not very surprising that Japan took giant strides in her economic progress. 1.
