>"At the same time, MacArthur undermined the imperial mystique when his staff released the famous picture of his first meeting with the Emperor, the impact of which on the Japanese public was electric as the Japanese people for the first time saw the Emperor as a mere man overshadowed by the much taller MacArthur instead of the living god he had always been portrayed as. Up to 1945, the Emperor had been a remote, mysterious figure to his people, rarely seen in public and always silent, whose photographs were always taken from a certain angle to make him look taller and more impressive than he really was. No Japanese photographer would have taken such a photo of the Emperor being overshadowed by MacArthur. The Japanese government immediately banned the photo of the Emperor with MacArthur on the grounds that it damaged the imperial mystique, but MacArthur rescinded the ban and ordered all of the Japanese newspapers to print it. The photo was intended as a message to the Emperor about who was going to be the senior partner in their relationship."

This picture is actually effect different on Japanese.

MacArthur generally did attempt to keep Japanese customs and lifestyle unchanged. The emperor had numerous ideas for changing Japan (such as converting to MacArthur's sect of Christianity and officially making Christianity a state religion) to become more western, but MacArthur shot them down under the belief that Japan would recover better if they kept their culture intact. Most of the changes he caused were an attempt to crush the remaining zealous nationalism so that they wouldn't impede reconstruction.
He was a pretty good general honestly, I read couple books about him and had a very good impression of him
imagine her legs wrapping around your torso as she squeezes you dry
Imagine if he nuked China though, the entire New England area would be a wasteland
Patton also wanted to nuke China into dust. He also wanted to turn the USSR into glass.
This guy is the interpreter of the meeting.

Almost of all Japanese had never heard Hirohito's voice in the before and the during WW2.
So Hirohito became the first star after the war.

Hirohito visited Hiroshima after the war. Hiroshima people welcomed Hirohito.

They probably considered it at some point but decided it wouldn’t be worth it at all
Patton was kind of an emotional dumb ass sometimes
>rude
It's just a photo. The rape of nanking was rude
proxy off James
Tenno Heika! Banzai!
Weren't there plans to invade the USSR right after defeating Nazi Germany
Patton wanted to have an immediate invasion of Russia while their backs were turned and drop nukes on all their major cities. He thought the US had backed the wrong side of the war and that the commies were backwards drunkard mongols who would take over the world without the fascist buffer.
Stupid Americlaps should have helped Chang when he still had a resemblance of an army.
>Chinese government immediately banned the photo
