You’re right, they had no uprising. The US wanted a client state in the region, so in the reconstruction it installed a bourgeois democracy that was and is subservient to it. We still have dozens of military bases there, despite the complaints & protests of Japanese residents.
for those who don't want to go through wiki articles, what he means is essentially after wwii, the US was like o shit communism. better be friends with Japan so we can install a bunch of army bases so we can have control in that area. Japan, ravaged by war, was just like... ok. which is why they get a lot of passes in western society for the shit they pulled in history. the end.
