After the Greater East Asia War was over, Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers (SCAP), the title held by General Douglas MacArthur during the Occupation of Japan prohibited the use of an expression "The Greater East Asia War" and published for the nationwide distribution the American-made history of the war under the tile of "Peace and War" on Japanese newspapers. Since its publication, Japan has used "The Pacific War" even on school textbooks.
"Peace and War" was prepared in 1943 to describe a history of the Pacific War viewed from the U.S. perspectives. As soon as the U.S. forces advanced into Japan, they ordered the Ministry of Education, the Government of Japan to use it as a teaching material.
This "Peace and War" was prepared by the U.S. State Department to justify the purposes of the war U.S.A. had pursued; therefore, it is a propaganda document. In this document, one will find a detailed description of the World War II, trying to prove that the World War II was a war between "fascism pursued by the tripartite of Germany, Italy, and Japan" and "democracy represented by the Great Britain, the United States of America, and the Soviet Union", in which "Democracy defeated Evil Fascism" has been described in such a great detail.

My comment:
It has never occurred to me that the Soviet Union ruled by that son of a bitch "Stalin"was a democratic society.
