{{cleanup}}

'''Reverse Course''' is the common name for the change in [[US]] policy toward [[Japan]] during the post-[[World War II]] reconstruction.

It is often linked to escalation of [[Cold War]], the "loss" of China and the [[Korean War]].

According to [[George F. Kennan]]’s policies, Japan served as an industrial engine of [[Communism]] containment in East Asia. The US needed an "empire to the South" in the form of a noncommunistic Japan.  A strong Japanese economy would prevent [[Communism]] from spreading in Asia.
