Undated, Japan - Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964) in Japan circa 1945-1951. He had ordered on August 29, 1945 to exercise authority through the Japanese government machinery, including Emperor Hirohito. MacArthur as Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers in Japan and his GHQ staff helped a devastated Japan rebuild itself, institute a democratic government, and chart a course that made Japan one of the world's leading industrial powers.
