After the defeat of Japan in World War II, the United States led the Allies in the occupation and rehabilitation of the Japanese state. Between 1945 and 1952, the U.S. occupying forces, led by General Douglas A. MacArthur, enacted widespread military, political, economic, and social reforms.
The war was fought primarily between the colonies of Great Britain and New France, with both sides supported by forces from Europe as well as American Indian allies.
For starters, the government can regulate the imported goods coming from other countries to protect the sellers inside the country. The government regulates the imports by Charging Tariffs (importing Taxes) or by imposing taxes. The government can also import inside the country when there is a shortage to meet the demand.
Hope this helps.
