Best Answer

It didn't.

The U.S. fought against Japan during WW2, ending with Japanese surrender following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After the war the Japanese (and American occupiers) wrote a new constitution for Japan which limited its military power. Japan has not been at war with anyone since World War II.

Do Japan and Germany have a military today or were they stripped of their right?

Yes. They still have a military. Japan has only a "self-defense force," under the 1947 Peace Constitution forced upon them by the United States. Under this constitution, they are not allowed to build a military that could be used for more than defense, without the permission of the United States. This has not been lifted and probably will not be. Japan has tried numerous times to reverse this but has been blocked not just by the United States but by China, especially when it has sought a seat on the U.N. Security Council.
