Did Japan stay neutral during the Cold War and if not what did they do?

Japan did not stay neutral during the Cold War. After the war, Japan was occupied by the United States, and the United States maintained a military presence in Japan throughout the Cold War. Japan also became a member of the United Nations in 1956, and participated in the United States-led efforts to contain the Soviet Union.

Here are some specific examples of Japan's role in the Cold War:

* Japan provided logistical and financial support to the United States during the Korean War.

* Japan allowed the United States to use military bases in Japan, including the Yokosuka Naval Base and the Kadena Air Base.

* Japan participated in the United States-led nuclear weapons testing program in the Pacific Ocean.

* Japan joined the United States in condemning the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan in 1979.

* Japan also provided economic aid to South Korea and other countries in the developing world as a way to counter the spread of communism.

In addition to these specific actions, Japan also played a more general role in the Cold War as a symbol of the success of the United States' containment policy. Japan's economic recovery and its emergence as a major economic power showed that the United States' strategy of containing the Soviet Union was working.
