The U.S. occupied Japan from 1945 to 1952 primarily to facilitate post-war reconstruction, promote democratic governance, and prevent the rise of militarism. After Japan's defeat in World War II, the occupation aimed to demilitarize and democratize the nation, instilling reforms in its political, economic, and social structures. This period also served to stabilize the region during the early Cold War, ensuring Japan would align with U.S. interests in Asia. The occupation officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of San Francisco in 1951, restoring Japan's sovereignty.
