    Truman rather famously ended the war with Japan…

    Although to be fair, Japan should not be circled under the Marshall Plan, which was contained to western Europe. Nobody ever came up with a snappy name for the postwar occupation/reconstruction of Japan.

      “Do what we say or we’ll nuke more of your population” not catchy enough?
