...Americans after 1945, assured that it would "renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation." For good reason, many Japanese remain deeply conflicted about the use of force. The grand bargain struck at the end of World War II-in essence that the U.S. would protect Japan in return for diplomatic support for its endeavors-served Japan well. It allowed the Japanese to concentrate on building the most sustained economic miracle the world has ever seen, without having to worry about the costs of a massive defense establishment.
