Even before dropping the Atomic bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasacki, America and Britain demanded unconditional surrender of the Japanese Nation, with the one exception that the Japanese Emperor could retain his position. After the bombs were dropped and the Emperor of Japan signaled that he wanted peace, the Allies drew up their terms of surrender. In order to assure that the Japanese did not rebuild their military power, the Peace Treaty imposed restrictions requiring the complete disarmament of Japan, including restricting any Naval shipbuilding. To this day, Japan has a very small military force, and the US maintains military bases and troops throughout Japan. Japan has not had the financial burden of maintaining a defensive military, but it has also not threatened any other nation since the end of WWII.
