Question

how did the us change the government of japan after world war ii? it allowed the emperor to gain more power. it put japans military in charge. it barred former soldiers from voting. it created a democratic government.

Explanation:

After World War II, the US occupied Japan and aimed to democratize it. The US helped Japan establish a democratic government with a new constitution that reduced the emperor's power to a symbolic role, disbanded the military's political control, and expanded voting rights (so former soldiers weren't barred from voting). The option "It created a democratic government" aligns with the US's post - war efforts to reform Japan's government into a democratic system. The other options are incorrect: the emperor's power was reduced, the military was not put in charge, and former soldiers were not barred from voting.

Answer:

D. It created a democratic government.
