eli5: How Did Japan and America Go From Enemies to Allies So Quickly?

1.54K viewsOther

I’m trying to wrap my head around how the USA and Japan shifted from being fierce enemies during World War II to becoming close allies in just a few decades. It seems like a huge turnaround in international relations from an American perspective. What happened and why this dramatic change?

People are gonna say a bunch of hand wavy political and economic stuff. But the reality is its because the Americans started going zoom zoom in that Nippon pum pum.

The subsequent wave of yellow fever and white pedestaling that occurred had a ripple effect up the political ladder and resulted in a cultural butterfly effect that eventually led the two nations to cozy up.

When talking about humans its also just contrived bs until you boil it down to the monkey brain
