Explanation

During the first phase of Japan’s postwar reconstruction, the occupying Allies dismantled Japan’s military and held leaders accountable for wartime actions. Japan’s army was broken apart, past military decisions were punished, and war-crimes trials were held in Tokyo. The major trials took place in Japan, not in the United States, and military leaders were not made politicians.
