How does Japan get freedom?

This article explores the history of Japan's struggle for freedom over the past 150 years, beginning with calls for reform in the mid-19th century and culminating in the post-war reforms implemented by U.S.-led occupation forces after World War II. These reforms have included political, economic and social changes aimed at democratizing Japanese society while protecting civil liberties such as freedom from discrimination and protection against self-incrimination. As a result, Japan has become increasingly democratic with greater levels of freedom enjoyed by its citizens today than ever before.
