I will say that Japan did owe at least in some part their prosperity to America because for about 40+ years, they didn't need to defend themselves as America did it for them. Which translates to virtually no defense budget=more money for economy and what-not. One can complain about how the US only hurt Japan and so on but still, I think this needs to be mentioned.
