aug 23, 1951 - Yoshida Doctrine

Description:

The Yoshida Doctrine, imposed by Japanese prime minister Yoshida Shigeru, followed a post war recovery plan that would focus Japan’s resources on establishing a stronger economic base for Japan. Japan mimicked the United State’s position on international conflicts and security. This Doctrine preceded the Treaty of San Francisco which further enforced Japan and American relations during the Cold War. Japan’s outstanding economic growth made them a reliable ally and trading partner during the Cold War; but with this economic upscale, Japan also had to bear a degree of responsibility for the international military during the Cold War. Japan’s economic upscale and openness to trade got the United States more involved with the Asian market and established stronger ties between Japan and the U.S.
