    The Reckoning (Politics, 1945-1954, Part 1)

    The Reverse Course (Politics, 1945-1954, Part 2)

    While the Allied occupation forces had initially supported the restoration of far-left parties to Japan's political arena, the advent of the Cold War led to a reversal of sorts which included de-purging those who had supported imperial-era war crimes and purging some on the left whose loyalty to the US was in doubt.

    エピソード 3

    A New Deal for Japan (Economics 1945-1954)

    Tolerance and Patience (Politics 1954-1972, Part 2)

    Ikeda Hayato managed to garner the necessary support to become the President of the LDP and the Prime Minister of Japan after Kishi Nobusuke's resignation in 1960. He would prove to be almost the polar opposite of his arch-conservative predecessor, creating much of the social safety net which Japan continues to enjoy today. His successor, Sato Eisaku, lobbied for the return of Okinawa Prefecture and was forced to wrangle with complicated geopolitical challenges and domestic disturbances.

    The Economic Miracle period witnessed, as its name suggests, tremendous economic growth throughout Japan.
