eli5 How did Japan become a technology superpower after WW2?
In: Other
Super ELI5: we kicked their ass, decimated their industrial capabilities, gave them a shitload of cash to rebuild and be democratic. The Japanese took the cash and did the smart thing. They got to rebuild with the newest and greatest technology (at the time) as well. They’ve just continued to ride the wave. Very smart on their part.
