Japan is granted membership into the United Nations five years after a seven year U.S. occupation.
Political, economic, and social reforms were introduced, such as a freely elected Japanese Diet (legislature) and universal adult suffrage (voting rights). Japan establishes a constitutional monarchy.
U. S. financial support, along with the Japanese values of hard work lead to a period of great economic growth for Japan.
