because many people had lost all their food and clothing.
during the explosions and they needed to change their lives.
drastically. The only fortunate thing about the bombs was.
that they did in fact leave the railways and electric power.
with little damage. That was very positive for Japan because.
they still had power to the factories where people could go.
to work and get money to reconstruct their lives. In Paul.
Langer's book, Japan Yesterday and Today (135) he said,.
"The bombs left the prices to rise 10 per cent a month in.
which the civilians had to pay because of the United States".
destruction to Japan." The ruins that were leftover from the.
attack left Japan in a time for a major recovery. The.
destruction from the war is one of major items that will go.
down in Japanese history forever. The United States, the.
nation which caused this frightful and fatal period, engaged in.
Japan from the day after the releasing of the bomb until 1951.
when a treaty was signed forcing the United States to leave.
Japan. General Douglas Mac Arthur led the American army.
into Japan to give them help. The United States helped.
Japan by bringing in food and in the year of 1946, 800,000.
tons of American food was rushed into Japan. Paul Langer.
(136) mouthed, "From the damages done the United States.
had to pay about one million dollars per day which included.
the bill for food, fertilizer and other major essentials." The.
United States had to pay this enormous amount of money.
because they were forced to help Japan recover both.
physically and economically. Japan, a nation that was in.
great need of aid, accepted the United States" support but.
tried to pretend that they did not need them. While the.
Americans stayed in Japan they wanted to destroy the.
power, privileges and wealth of Japanese ruling classes who.
were blamed for Japanese militarism. The United States.
occupation of Japan led to the distribution of many of the.
American ideas and practices into the Japanese culture.
