Answer 1

B. Yes, Japan became a stable democracy with one of the biggest economies in the world. The US-led rebuilding of Japan after World War II was successful in terms of rebuilding the country's infrastructure, establishing a democratic government, and promoting economic growth. Japan's post-war constitution, which was drafted by the US, established a parliamentary system of government and guaranteed basic human rights. The US also provided economic aid and technical assistance to help Japan rebuild its economy, which eventually became one of the largest in the world.
