After the war, Japan reformed dramatically again. The reforms were in all spheres, social, political, military, economical. The country changed in more Westernized manner, but also keeping some of the traditional values and strengths, thus making a nice mixture which turned to be very successful. For the first time, the women got the right to vote, and they also were made equal with the men.

The educational system was totally changed, and it became a role model educational system very quickly, becoming one of the best in the world.
