Original Note:
The US was not charitable in aiding rebuilding after WW2. Money was loaned, not gifted, and enabled the US to gain influence in those regions. https://www.history.com/topics/world-war-ii/marshall-plan-1 Until 1949, only the US had nuclear weapons. Japan desired an end to hostilities before the bombs were used, on civilian targets. https://www.iwm.org.uk/history/the-atomic-bombs-that-ended-the-second-world-war
