Replenishing the Soil: Food, Fertiliser and Soil Science in Occupied Japan (1945-52)
Environmental scientists and activists in the early twenty-first century have identified productive, healthy soils as a key factor in feeding a rapidly increasing global population and mitigating climate change. This article argues that serious food shortages in Japan following its defeat in 1945 caused the fertility of its soils to become a pressing issue for the Allied Occupation (1945-52) and one seen as central to the success of democratisati…
The Anatomy of Allied Occupation: Contesting the Resumption of Japanese Antarctic Whaling, 1945–1952”
This article scrutinizes the controversy surrounding the resumption of Japanese Antarctic whaling from 1946, focusing on the negotiations and concessions that underline the nature of the Allied Occupation as an international undertaking. Britain, Norway, Australia, and New Zealand objected to Japanese pelagic whaling, chiefly on the grounds of its past record of wasteful and inefficient operations. Their opposition forced the Natural Resources Se…

A Tale of Two Occupations
This article explores divisions over hunting game in postwar Japan, illuminating a neglected aspect of the u.s. Occupation—namely the interrelationship between General Headquarters, Armed Forces Pacific ( ghq , afpac ), its military organization, and the more familiar General Headquarters, Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers ( ghq , scap ), with the primary mission of democratic reform. It also examines the previously overlooked work of scap …
The Police In Occupation Japan: Control, Corruption and Resistance to Reform
Many Western commentators have expressed their admiration for the Japanese police system, tracing its origins to the American Occupation of Japan (1945-52).This study challenges the assumptions that underlie these accounts, focusing on the problems that attended the reform of the Japanese police during the Occupation. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, Christopher Aldous explores the extent to which America failed in it's goal of 'democr…

Typhus in Occupied Japan (1945–1946): An Epidemiological Study
This article examines the typhus epidemic that occurred in Occupied Japan during 1945 and 1946, exploring its origins, how it unfolded and the measures taken to suppress it. It challenges the assumption made by Japanese and Occupation personnel at the time that it originated amongst Korean labourers and was spread by them throughout Japan as they left coal mines in Hokkaidō to return to Korea via ports in southern Honshū and Kyūshū. In order to d…
Achieving Reversion: Protest and Authority in Okinawa, 1952-70
The build-up and development of the Okinawan struggle for reversion to Japanese administration does not figure prominently in the English-language literature on the American occupation of Okinawa, nor does it occupy a central place in Japanese analyses of this subject. Rather there is a tendency to view Okinawa as a subset of US-Japanese postwar relations, and to explain reversion as a process carried through by senior American and Japanese offic…
