Question

How did Japan’s situation after World War II help its economy recover faster than Germany’s economy?

Answer 1

The Japanese economic wonder was a period of record economic growth in the post-World War II period. The first phase immediately after the war is the period of repair, in order to follow the period of high economic growth.  In the period of economic boom, GDP growth was recorded, exports increased, and much more money was invested in modernization of factories than military industries. The peak of the economic growth was experienced in the 1960s when Japan became the second most powerful economy in the world, after the USA, the Soviet Union did not count as a communist country with a completely different way of managing the economy. This rise in the economy is also evident during the 1970s and later, as a steady increase.

And, on the other hand, Germany, after the Second World War, recorded an economic growth, but under constant control. The first phase after the war was the implementation of denazification known as "intellectual reparation". Germany is divided between Western allies and the Soviet Union. Nazi pioneers were treated as forced labor.  However, in the decades after the war, a large increase of industries were recorded, primarily in Western Germany, though not like in Japan. It was necessary to raise new factories, repair existing ones, so that in the 1950s in West Germany the unemployment rate was very low.
