How Japan’s Hidden Strategy Made It Rich Even After the US Nuclear Attack  

Japan's

The atomic bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were enough to shake Japan’s Foundation to its very core, but when you look at Japan nothing seems lost how is it that a country that fell so low at one point became a leading Nation? 

Japan suffered significant damage during World War II, damage that I think no other country had ever seen before. In the years immediately following World War II, when the United States Occupied Japan, it implemented political economic, and Civic reforms that transformed Japan into the world’s second-largest economy. 

This economic miracle was the result of Japan and West Germany benefiting from the cold war. Japan rose to the world’s second-largest economy during the economic boom. Japan’s rise to this position is credited to the economic miracle. It should come as no surprise that after the end of World War II, the Japanese economy was in shambles. For instance, by the end of the second world war, the Japanese cotton industry had collapsed wartime administrators destroyed two-thirds of its pre-war cotton spindles and bombed the remaining one-third. It is no surprise that after the end of World War II, the Japanese economy was in shambles. It was primarily caused by the interventionist economic policies of the Japanese government.

Following the end of World War II, the military danger posed by the Soviet Union as well as the near destruction of the Japanese standard of living compelled the United States government to fund an all-encompassing economic recovery. There was still some industrial expansion throughout all nations. nations that, as a direct result of the war, had a severe drop in economic output, such as Japan, West Germany, and Italy had the most rapid recoveries. To properly integrate Japan into the global economy and rebuild the economic infrastructure that would later serve as the foundation of the Japanese economic Miracle, the United States had done both by the time the occupation of Japan ended in 1952, the United States of America was concerned about the expansion of Japan’s economy. One of the most important contributors to Japan’s quick recovery from the consequences of the war was the government’s successful implementation of economic reform. 4. Japan’s principal government agency in charge of the industrial strategy was the Ministry of International Trade and Industry. 

The adoption of the inclined production mode was one of the most significant economic shifts. The term “inclined production mode” refers to a method of production that focuses primarily on the generation of raw materials. Commodities such as cotton, steel, and coal made up over 23.9 percent of Japan’s total industrial production. In addition, the Japanese government pushed women’s employment as a means of fostering greater economic expansion. The legislation on recruiting consists of three parts: restrictions on regional hiring and worker relocation a ban on direct hiring of fresh graduates a provision allowing direct hiring of non-graduates under rigorous guidelines established by the ministry of labor and the cooperation of Manufacturers and suppliers. Every one of these components is tied in with the others in some way. Distributors and banks that are part of closely knit networks are referred to as kiritsu. 

The strong Enterprise unions shunt good relations with government bureaucrats as well as the guarantee of lifetime employment in large corporations and highly unionized Blue-Collar factories. some of the distinguishing characteristics of the Japanese economy during the years of the economic Miracle. The beginning of the Korean War was the third factor responsible for Japan’s quick recovery from World War II. The Korean War was fought because the Japanese occupation of Korea constituted an act of aggression against Japan. 

The Japanese occupation of Korea constituted an act of aggression. Logistics from the United States quickly became a serious issue for the military. The United States turned to the Japanese economy for equipment and supplies while taking part in the battle on the Korean Peninsula. American soldiers fighting in Korea swiftly received the necessary ammunition and support from the Japanese industrial sector. Demand stimulation helped Japan’s economy recover rapidly from the devastation of the Pacific War and laid the groundwork for Japan’s postwar economic success.
