Occupation of Japan
The Allies attempted to dismantle the Japanese Zaibatsu. However, the Japanese resisted these attempts, claiming that the zaibatsu were required in order for Japan to compete internationally, and looser industrial groupings known as keiretsu evolved. A major land reform was also conducted, led by Wolf Ladejinsky of General Douglas MacArthur's SCAP staff. However, Ladejinsky has stated that the real architect of reform was Socialist Hiro Wada, former Japanese Minister of Agriculture.<ref>Ness 1967, p. 819.</li> <li id="cite_note-10">'''[[#cite_ref-10|^]]''' Flores 1970, p. 901.</li> <li id="cite_note-11">'''[[#cite_ref-11|^]]''' Asahi Shimbun Staff 1972, p. 126.</li> <li id="cite_note-12">'''[[#cite_ref-12|^]]''' Dower 1999, p.325.</li> <li id="cite_note-13">'''[[#cite_ref-13|^]]''' Bix 2001, p.585.</li> <li id="cite_note-14">'''[[#cite_ref-14|^]]''' Ibid. p.583.</li> <li id="cite_note-15">'''[[#cite_ref-15|^]]''' Dower 1999 p. 326.</li> <li id="cite_note-16">'''[[#cite_ref-16|^]]''' Dower 1999, p. 562</li> <li id="cite_note-17">'''[[#cite_ref-17|^]]''' Dower 1993, p.11</li> <li id="cite_note-18">'''[[#cite_ref-18|^]]''' http://www.h-net.org/reviews/showrev.cgi?path=114661059720058</li> <li id="cite_note-19">'''[[#cite_ref-19|^]]''' http://www.h-net.org/reviews/showrev.cgi?path=114661059720058</li> <li id="cite_note-20">'''[[#cite_ref-20|^]]''' http://japanfocus.org/products/details/2737</li> <li id="cite_note-21">'''[[#cite_ref-21|^]]''' http://japanfocus.org/products/details/2737</li> <li id="cite_note-22">'''[[#cite_ref-22|^]]''' Dower 1999, p.90</li> <li id="cite_note-23">'''[[#cite_ref-23|^]]''' Dower 1999, p.54</li> <li id="cite_note-24">'''[[#cite_ref-24|^]]''' Gordon 2003, p.229</li>
