USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -On September 6, US President Truman approved a document titled “US Initial Post-Surrender Policy for Japan". The document set two main objectives for the occupation: eliminating Japan’s war potential and turning Japan into a democratic nation with pro-United Nations orientation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The American government believed that establishing democracy in Japan involved change in all areas of Japanese life. Under MacArthur and with the cooperation of the Japanese, Japan undertook tremendous changes in just seven short years-the Occupation lasted from 1945 to 1952.

Detailed explanation-3: -The agreement contained five articles, which dictated that Japan allow the United States to continue maintaining military bases on Japanese soil even after the end of the Occupation. The accord prohibited Japan from providing foreign powers any bases or military-related rights without the consent of the United States.

Detailed explanation-4: -During the election campaign that returned him to power last December, Abe and his Liberal Democratic Party promised to mark April 28 as “Restoration of Sovereignty Day.” April 28, 1952, was when the San Francisco Peace Treaty took effect, marking the official end of World War II and the allied occupation of Japan.
