In the decades that followed Japan feverishly  modernized in an attempt to end Western efforts at dominance. By the early  twentieth century, Japan possessed a rapidly industrializing economy and a  strong military. At first the rest of Asia was excited by Japan's  rise. However, the militarization of Japan in the 1930s, and  Japan's attempt to dominate the rest of Asia, resulted in the  Pacific War that pitted much of Asia and a number of Western countries  (including the United States) against Japan. In August 1945, a devastated  Japan accepted the surrender terms of the Allied powers. The subsequent  American occupation resulted in major political and economic change as  Japan became a democracy, renounced militarism, and resumed its impressive  economic growth.
