Japan, which returned to the international community in 1952, greatly reduced its territory and influence. The Republic of China (Taiwan), the People's Republic of China, the Republic of China (South Korea), and the Korean Democratic People's Republic (North Korea) had much more military power than the Japanese SDF. Considering the rise of the Cold War, international relations were not performed on pacifist routes assumed by Article 9 of the Constitution. The United States has maintained the territory of Okinawa and Ryukyu, and the Soviet Union occupied the whole Kuril Islands and claimed the South Captics territory. The Korean War has increased the urgency of the Peace Treaty. The details of these treaties were advanced by the United States and its no n-communist allies under the administration of General Matthew B. Ridge, which was appointed MacArthur in April 1951 as the Supreme Commander of MacArthur.

In the subsequent polite treaty, Japan approved Korea's independence, abandoned all the rights of Taiwan, Pescador Islands, the Chishima Islands, and Southern Karafuto, and abandoned the rights of the Pacific Islands given by the League. The Soviet Union attended a meeting but refused to sign the treaty. As a result, Japan had the hope to regain the four Kuro Islands, the closest to Hokkaido, that is, not the war, but to regain the territory acquired by negotiations. The Peace Treaty acknowledged Japan's "Individual and Collective Sel f-Defense Right", and was exercised by the U.

Japan agreed that it would not give the third country the same rights without the approval of the United States. The United States promised to support the Japanese Sel f-Defense Force, and the US military unit (excluding air strangers and naval units) withdrew to Okinawa.
The treaty did not stipulate the provisions of compensation for victims of the Japanese Pacific War, and stipulated that Japan must negotiate with related countries. As a result, the substantial resumption of Asian countries was after the treaty on compensation was signed. The treaty was concluded with Burma (now Myanmar) in 1954, the Philippines in 1956, and Indonesia in 1958. In 1956, Japan recovered diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, but no formal peace treaty was concluded.

At the time of the peace treaty, Prime Minister Yoshida wanted to delay Japan's acceptance of either of the two Republics of China, while the American negotiator John Foster Dulles preferred to accept the Republic of China. For this reason, Tokyo quickly negotiated a peace treaty with this regime, but this did not trigger subsequent negotiations with Beijing. Active trade was conducted with Taiwan, and Japan contributed significantly to its economy.
Trade relations with mainland China developed slowly in the absence of diplomatic relations. In 1953, an informal trade regime agreement was concluded between Japanese private organizations and Chinese authorities. Furthermore, semi-commercial "memorandum" trade gained importance in the 1960s. The Chinese government skillfully used trade politically, aiming to embarrass or weaken Japan's conservative regime. Periods of increased ideological tension in mainland China, the Great Leap Forward (1958-60) and the Cultural Revolution (1966-76), were reflected in a decrease or cessation of trade, especially with Japan. Nevertheless, Japan gradually became China's most important trading partner.
The prediction made by the United States to mainland China in 1971 caused a rapid reorientation of China's policy towards Japan. The Japanese government leaders indicated their willingness to compromise on ties with Taiwan in order to have closer ties with Beijing. Beijing also expressed a renewed interest in formal relations with Japan, provided that Japan retracted its treaty with Taiwan. In 1972, the year after mainland China joined the United Nations, Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka agreed with Beijing on measures to normalize relations. Japan simultaneously severed ties with Taiwan and replaced its embassy with an unofficial office.

The relationship between Japan and the United States after the occupation was established by the 1951 security treaty. Behind this treaty was that instead of maintaining US military bases in Japan, Japan could access the US market. The Liberal Democratic Party has revealed the benefits of maintaining such a rewarding relationship, avoiding unreasonable security costs and dramatically expanding foreign trade, but Japanese opposition parties. The Liberal Democratic Party was not a relationship that directly linked Japan to the increasingly hostile Cold War. As a result, the tension increased as the treaty renewal date (scheduled for 1960) approached. The Japan and the United States have hoped to extend the Treaty for 10 years as a revised treaty for mutual cooperation and security. The complicated situation was the opposition of Shinsuke Kishi, who became the Prime Minister in 1957 after the Tojo Cabinet. Shinsuke Kishi was nominated as a war criminal by the occupation army, although it was not a trial. Many Japan, which is concerned about the future of the country, feels that the shore of ant i-militaryism, publicly supporting the constitutional amendment, and taking ant i-democracy tactics is only involved in the creation of the Honoratical Treaty, and is concerned about the future of the country. I was suspected by people. Furthermore, US President Dwight Eisenhower was scheduled to come to Japan while the Soviet Union was shot down by the Soviet Union in May 1960. The opposition has steadily expanded when the Kishi Cabinet forced the treaty revision using the majority of the Diet. A larg e-scale demonstration centered on students shaked Tokyo for many days. Eventually, the treaty survived, but the visiting Eisen Hower was canceled, and the shore resigned in July 1960. < SPAN> The relationship between Japan and the United States after the occupation was established by the 1951 security treaty.

The administration of US President John F. Kennedy captured the imagination of many Japanese, and the appointment of popular scholar Edwin O. Reischauer as ambassador further improved US-Japan relations. However, in the late 1960s, the unpopularity of the Vietnam War once again brought US-Japan relations to the brink of collapse. Prime Ministers Ikeda and Sato tried hard to remove all reminders of the Vietnam War. In 1967, under Prime Minister Sato, the Ogasawara Islands were returned to Japan. Then, in 1969, on the eve of the resumption of negotiations on treaty revision, the US agreed to return the Ryukyu Islands in 1972, but the bases were to remain in Okinawa under the terms of the Security Treaty. The treaty was successfully renewed in 1970, but this time it was changed so that either side could terminate it with one year's notice. Thus, by 1972, US-Japan relations had stabilized. There were signs of change on both sides in Chinese policy, but there was still little indication of the widening trade conflict that followed.
By the early 1970s, a combination of forces had brought an end to the period of high growth that Japan had experienced in the 1950s and 1960s: major advances in technology, the disappearance of the abundant agricultural labor force needed for industry, and the decline in the international competitiveness of heavy industries such as shipbuilding, aluminum, fertilizer, and later steel. Reports of urban congestion, pollution, and environmental degradation, as well as dissatisfaction with ever-rising land prices, led many middle-class Japanese to question the economic and political logic that linked growth to national success. The foreign trade environment was also changing. In 1971, the United States devalued the US dollar by 17% against the Japanese yen. The 1973-74 OPEC oil embargo caused further disruption to the Japanese economy, which was heavily dependent on Middle Eastern oil. Consumer panic buying became prevalent, bringing home the fundamental fragility of the Japanese economy. The sharp rise in crude oil prices brought an end to an era of relatively cheap and abundant energy resources. Thus, by the mid-1970s, many Japanese were increasingly anxious about their place in the world economy. Dependence on fuel and food - op
As a result, throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Japan attempted to integrate its economy more effectively into the global system and diversify its markets and sources of raw materials. Japan became a staunch supporter of international free trade and sought to establish at least some degree of energy self-sufficiency through the expansion of its use of nuclear power. The economic anxieties of the 1970s revived defensive, nationalistic sentiments, as if Japan was in a struggle against external forces intent on taking away its hard-won postwar gains. By the early 1990s, international economic tensions were effectively exploited by the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and the bureaucracy to contain and eliminate major domestic economic and political problems.
The domestic beauty rhetoric that the international environment in which Japan is located is hostile, covers the fact that the Japanese economy became one of the world's leading scale and advanced in the 1980s. Ta. The per capita national income surpassed the United States, and the gross national production reached about on e-tenth of global production. In the mi d-1980s, Japan became one of the world's largest network and became the largest development assistance. However, prosperity has been increasingly linked to trade. Domestic low growth was offset by the booming of exports. In the 1970s, exports were considered to be essential to balance the expected deficit due to soaring petroleum prices. However, exports accelerated as the Japanese economy successfully survived the recession due to rising oil prices in 1972-74 and 1979-81. Leaded by cars, color televisions, luxury steel, precision optical equipment, and electronics products, Japan's trade balance in Japan has steadily turned positive.
In contrast, domestic consumption, which played an important role in the first step in postwar Japan's reconstruction, began to stagnate. In the early 1990s, Japanese consumption was much less consumption in the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany. At the same time, Japanese consumer prices were much higher than the global average. According to the survey, the consumption patterns were affected by the increase in wages, the residential bottleneck, the traditional savings habits, and the lon g-time work and commuting schedule that rarely provide leisure time. < SPAN> The fact that Japan's international environment is hostile is hostile, and in the 1980s, the Japanese economy has become one of the world's leading scale and advancedness in the world.
