How the fuck did Hirohito get away with WW2 war crimes when he lost? Was he really a Japanese military’s puppet with no executive powers?
>Be Emperor Hirohito
>Has supreme executive powers,( just like Kim Jong Un), over PM Hideki Tojo and his 5 star generals to Order the bombing of Pearl Harbor and surrender to the Americans.(Remember the coup leaders were executed via Seppuku for defying the emperor’s orders)
>Hosted the 1964 & 1972 Olympics
>Visited Disneyland in 1975.
>Dies at the ripe old age of 90 on 1990.

wtf? How?

Pragmatic decision. It made the occupation easier.

Similar situation to the South in 1865. America wanted no further rebellions or friction so they let some figureheads hang around for peaceful transition of power. They knew he was mostly ceremonial anyway.

USA needed stable governments as a bulwark against Socialism spreading. Organized labor is defeated so now USA can just wreck nations and leave them with no functioning governments.

They wanted to execute all the leaders and humiliate and deradicalize the population like they did in europe but MacArthur said no.
