American Chronicles: Out of the Ashes (1945-1949)

Plot

This video is part of a series that examines the role that America played in world military events from World War I onward. This episode looks at the years following the end of World War II. The atomic bomb and unconditional surrender of Japan left that country in shambles. The United States stepped in with the Marshall Plan to reorder Japanese society. Out of the ashes of the old way, a new Japan was born. Archival film footage helps tell the story. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, Rovi
