  • description: Just five years after WWII, Japan’s economy was in ruins—factories idle, unemployment soaring, and reconstruction dragging on. Then came the Korean War. When the U.S. and UN forces mobilized in 1950, Japan became their logistical hub. Trucks, steel, uniforms, canned food—Tokyo supplied it all. These “special procurements” pumped over $3 billion into Japan’s economy within a few years. Industrial output exploded, jobs returned, and the gears of Japan’s postwar recovery began to turn.
