OCCUPIED JAPAN PERIOD IN HISTORY?
The American Export Act required that the Japanese stamp MADE IN OCCUPIED JAPAN on any exported items from 1945-1952.
At the end of WW II, Japan was occupied by the Allied Powers that was led by the United States. This was the first time since the unification of Japan that the island nation had been occupied by a foreign power. The San Francisco Peace Treaty, signed on Sept. 8, 1951 marked the end of the Allied occupation. It went into effect April 28, 1952. Japan was once again an independent state.
Japan surrendered to the Allies on Aug. 15, 1945 when Emperor Hirohito accepted the terms of the Potsdam Declaration. The following day, Hirohito announced Japan's surrender. It was V-J Day, the end of WW II and the beginning of a long road to recovery for a shattered Japan.
