Quizplus · Accepted Answer

General MacArthur's responsibilities immediately after World War 2 included trying Japanese for war crimes and laying the foundations of postwar Japanese society, which involved the demilitarization of Japanese society.

The laying of the foundations of postwar Philippine society was not a direct responsibility of his. The rearmament of Japan under American leadership did not occur until later, during the Cold War.
