Nation building in Germany and Japan aimed to transform former enemies into prosperous allies in the emerging new struggle . . . [knowing] these nations had the capacity for unity, organization, and productivity, we sought to make them over to move them into our column. . . . The objective was not to build democratic states for the benefit of their own citizens. … It was far less important that Germany and Japan be democratic than that they be capitalist and rich.
