Xuan Ye's evaluation of the Japanese: I don't know that there is friendship in the world, but I am afraid of Wu Wei! For the Japanese, as long as the fist is strong enough, even if they have been bullied, they can still be greatly respected, such as the United States.
In the port of Shimoda, Japan, there is still a statue of The American General Perry who led the fleet to open the gates of Japan.
MacArthur became the supreme commander of the US occupation of Japan, he was almost the emperor of Japan, MacArthur personally led the completion of the post-war transformation of Japan in the United States, and the Japanese people not only did not hate MacArthur, but were grateful.
On August 12, 1945, MacArthur was appointed supremely responsible for the occupation of Japan, the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, and after Japan's surrender, the U.S. military began to physically occupy Japan, and MacArthur arrived in Japan.
After that, MacArthur actually overtook the emperor and became the de facto emperor of Japan for seven years.
Supposedly, the Japanese must have hated this powerful outsider to the bone, but strangely, when MacArthur left at the end of his term, many Japanese people were willing to tearfully bid farewell, completely treating MacArthur as a benefactor.
In fact, it is normal for Japanese people to react in this way.
First, Japan was saved, and thanks to the United States at the end of World War II, the Japanese military still refused to surrender, and even wanted to gamble on everyone to die together, that is, the infamous "one hundred million jade fragments", fortunately, this plan did not succeed, but Japan's aggression continued.
However, after the United States razed Hiroshima and Nagasaki to the ground, the Japanese military was frightened and eventually surrendered.
For the Japanese, although the bombing by the United States caused a large number of Japanese to lose their lives in the war, it actually saved the Japanese country, and the United States shocked the Japanese military and did not let all the Japanese become the burial of the war.
After the defeat, many people in Japan were very afraid, but after the American occupation of Japan, the humiliation and bullying of the Japanese that many Japanese people had imagined did not happen, and even the emperor was retained.
As a country with countless crimes across Asia, Japan's post-war end was not bad.
Although MacArthur became the de facto Emperor taishang in Japan, he also became a symbol of the Preservation of Japan by the Americans, and the Japanese could say that there was almost no reason to hate MacArthur so much.
Second, although Japan, which led the transformation of Japan and transformed itself into a modern country, became the only country in Asia to escape its colonial fate and become a great power, Japan retained a large number of remnants while learning from the West, and Japan was not a truly modern country.
MacArthur was ordered to personally lead a series of postwar transformations of Japan by the United States.
According to the MacArthur Draft, Japan has formulated a new peace constitution, and the new law has many things that Japan could not do in the past, such as the full protection of the rights and interests of women and children, which has made many people in Japan strongly support MacArthur.
In addition, MacArthur forced Hirohito to issue the Declaration of the Human World, and since then the emperor has been completely removed from the altar and become a true mortal, and Japan is constantly evolving into a normal country.
It can be said that MacArthur's transformation of Japan is very comprehensive and in-depth, and has a huge impact on Japan.
Although the transformation of Japan was carried out by the United States, MacArthur has become an iconic figure in the new beginning of the post-war period in Japan, and he is extremely important and crucial to the new life and restart of Japan.
Third, MacArthur's development of Japan was indeed benevolent because of the war, Japan harmed others and harmed itself, and after the war, Japan was extremely short of food, and MacArthur at that time did not ignore it, but personally returned to China for help, and won a large amount of rescue food for Japan.
Even MacArthur made it clear that as long as I was commander, Japan would not be allowed to starve more people.
Although Japan was still very short of food in the early post-war period, MacArthur was really benevolent to Japan, and his struggle made great contributions to the vast majority of Japanese people surviving the most difficult times, which is why many people remember him deeply.
Originally, the attitude of the United States toward Japan was not very good, but later it changed, and the United States wanted to build Japan into its bridgehead in the Far East, a fortress to block the Red forces, so it fully supported it.
While the United States supported Western Europe after the war, its support and assistance to Japan was also unequivocal, accelerating Japan's post-war rise.
On the whole, MacArthur was indeed very credited to Japan's post-war recovery and development, and Japan was originally a character of reverence and closeness to the strong, and their attitude towards MacArthur was also normal.
