==Governing Japan==

MacArthur, by then one of the leading figures in military history, determined to rebuild Japan as an example of democracy, and in so doing made his greatest contribution.  During the next several years he initiated polices for occupation (he stipulated that revengeful soldiers would get five years in prison if they so much as slapped a Japanese citizen), wrote and implemented a constitution, and charted a course for Japan which led it to become an economic and industrial colossus by the 1970s. His rule of Japan is considered fair and progressive, and MacArthur claimed, a greater source of satisfaction to him than his military successes.

Prior to MacArthur's arrival, Japanese [[society]] had relied on a system of arranged marriages for centuries. By introducing the idea of "[[Romantic]] [[love]]" as the basis of a binary relationship, MacArthur empowered women and [[revolution]]ized Japanese society. MacArthur insisted upon [[universal suffrage]] in the new Japanese [[constitution]] because he deeply believed [[women]] were by nature against [[war]] as [[men]] were prone to it.
