· Reverse Course is the labeling for the change in U.S. policy toward Japan during the post-World War II reconstruction. · This 'reverse course' made Japan the corner stone of US policy in Asia. Further it forced Japan's foreign policy to be based around its relationship with the US. · At the beginning after the war, a number of military leaders were trialed and executed, but in the 1950s a lot of the leaders are given positions of power again in the administration as the threat of communism and the cold war in china and Soviet Union forces the US government to adopt these policies. · The Korean War, 1950 and the threat of Russia causes Japan to become a very important strategic base for the US. · Towards the end of 1950, the attitude of media towards war changed from criticizing it and the perpetrators to depicting the militarists as a faceless mask. Called reverse course debate. · Emphasized the suffering of the Japanese, and them as the victims. Focuses on specific events instead, like nuclear wars and how they suffered for it. Selective memory, only on the situations where they suffered or were victims.
Japan
After the truce with Japan the United States set up a military government and controlled Japan.
By 1941, the British were too busy fighting Hitler to block Japanese expansion. Only the U.S. and its Pacific island remained in Japan's way.
Nations consist of people; people change. Foreign policie's have to reflect that change too.
Japan's only invasion of American soil during World War II occurred on the islands of Attu and Kiska on the Aleutian Chain of Alaska. Aside from that, the island of Adak was attacked by air as was, of course, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
