After World War II, the United States actively supported Japan, the defeated country. What are the main reasons for the change of American policy?
1 In the late World War II, the United States decided on the strategic policy of fostering China (the Republic of China of the Kuomintang), containing Japan and containing the Soviet Union in East Asia or the Western Pacific.

However, with the establishment of the new China in 1949, the United States realized that capitalism had won an all-round victory in the Asian continent, and its Asian agent was transferred from the Kuomintang to Japan.

At this time, Japan is suffering from the trauma of defeat, and it is no exaggeration to describe Japan with devastation. Japan responded positively to its intention to support the United States, and made every effort to provide logistical support (mainly the supply of living materials and food) for the US military in the subsequent War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. ).

Finally, in view of the pressure of the rise of capitalism in the western Pacific (at this time, the capitalist movement in Vietnam and other places is surging), the incompetence of the Kuomintang and the cunning of Japan, the United States chose Japan as its agent.
