Yes, the United States is the only country that has successfully landed astronauts on the moon. The Apollo missions between 1969 and 1972 achieved this feat.
The first program to send people to the moon was the Apollo program launched by NASA in the United States. The Apollo 11 mission successfully landed the first humans on the moon on July 20, 1969.
The US was in competition with the USSR at the time, and the USSR had taken the lead in the space race by being the first nation to put a satellite in orbit. The US needed to demonstrate that it could outdo the USSR in order to bolster its international prestige. Rocket science, needed to send a man to the moon, also has military applications. If the US knows how to send a man to the moon, that speaks well of US capacity to send a missile to a specific target on Earth. So it was a Cold War strategy.
No Japan did not send a monkey to the moon
Russia was the first to send unmanned probes to the moon, the US was the first to send humans.
