    2. The reconstruction of post-war Japan
      1. 1947- USA introduces the 'reverse course' towards Japan
        1. This policy showed that the US wanted to develop and instigate democratic institutions and practices into Japan instead of punishing them for the war
          1. This sparked the USA's influence in Asia
            1. The USA targeted communists and their sympathisers rather than suspected war criminals in Japan (tried to remove communism)

                                1. GATT was made by the UN at the end of WW2. Managed international trade and minimised tariffs and duties to maximise trade

                          1. Led to a worldwide containment of communism for the USA and meant that they had to commit to supporting various countries around the world. (working like a global policemen even though that was the UN's job)
                            1. Suddenly Japan became crucial for the USA's containment of communism in the East. This led to Japan's Prime MInister and Dulles signing a treaty that would provide security for Japan

                                        1. Basically made the USA increase its power (more testing of atomic bombs and stuff)
                                          1. Led to military emphasis on the application of containment.

                                              1. Mao considered US intervention but realised that it wouldn't happen due to their interest in Asia

                                                      1. Acheson wanted the USA to do nothing that might reinforce a Sino-Soviet alliance. Supporting the nationalists in Taiwan was a means to end the CCP
                                                        1. The Defensive Perimeter Strategy
