How did the USA manage to rebuild Japan into a democratic ally after WWII? What made that different from other failed attempts?
In: Other
It isn’t unique. West Germany and South Korea were similarly rebuilt, although in the latter case the road was a bit rockier (SK was basically run by a dictator for a while before settling into its modern democratic form.) Look up the Marshall Plan and and the [Occupation of Japan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupation_of_Japan) (which at the time included what is now South Korea).
