The trend of the times and the change in American citizen's feelings

Here, we summarized the changes in the emotions of American citizens after the war (after 1945) the occurrence between the United States and Japan in a table.

表

the U.S.‐Japan Security Treaty
The Japan-US Security Treaty refers to "mutual cooperation and security treaty between Japan and the United States" made on January 19, 1960.

It consists of the preamble and the body of ten items and it mainly describes the stationing of the US forces in Japan and the cooperation of security of Japan and the United States. In Article 5, when armed attack on Japan was done, the United States It is written that Japan will be defended by judgment at that time. It is argued to what extent Japan can expect Japan to defend America and whether it is correct that Japan, which wishes to abolish nuclear weapons, is protected by the nuclear deterrence of the United States.

Mr. Donald Trump, who is the next president (scheduled for January 20, 2017) said that during the election the current Japan-U.S. Security is disadvantageous to the United States.

What we understood

There are two main things that I have learned when I summarize the national sentiments of the United States this time.

  1. I understood that the United States was active in returning Japan to the international community and was very friendly to Japan.
  2. It turned out that the United States left a major problem (such as territorial issue) for Japan, but left it in Japan.
