The United States policy toward Asia after World War II resulted in the Truman administration encouraging the rapid economic growth of Japan. The U.S. hoped to ensure political stability in Japan and prevent the spread of communism in Asia by promoting economic growth and promoting a democratic government in Japan. This policy was reflected in the U.S.-led occupation of Japan, which imposed restrictions on Japan's military but also provided economic assistance and support for Japan's industrial development.
