Japan transitioned from an autocracy to a democracy primarily after World War II, driven by external pressures and internal desires for reform. The defeat in the war led to significant American influence, as the U.S. sought to promote democratic governance and prevent the spread of communism in Asia. This resulted in the adoption of a new constitution in 1947, which established civil liberties, a parliamentary system, and the renunciation of war. The desire for modernization and political participation among the Japanese populace also fueled this shift towards democracy.
