I've indeed once opened up such a thread, but without one single reply
Great that someone else has opened up a similar thread.
Hope that this one could survive
One more thing for all potential players in this thread... in Japan, a general election must be held every 4 years or less, instead of 5 years. Though, it doesn't really matter, as not so many Japanese PMs could serve for more than 2 years
1947: Hitoshi Ashida (Democratic Party)
1950: Yoshida Shigeru (Democratic Liberal Party)

[2] Democratic Liberal landslide. Ikeda would become known as the father of the Japanese economic miracle.
OOC: Fixing 1955 to 1954, since in Japan, an election is held every 4 years (or less) instead of 5.

[3]The still popular Ikeda is forced to resign midterm (OOC:there´s going to be a lot of references if we explain it everytime someone resigns) when an attempt to end a strike using police force gets out of hand. His finance minister Sasakawa takes the mantle.

OOC: I'm adding a 1962 election in between It should be one post per election or change of prime minister in between 2 elections in other similar threads Indeed quite happy to see Ikeda serving longer than in OTL here He's my favorite Japanese PM from 1947 to 1982

[4] With the international crisis resulting from the failed but devastating Chinese intervention in Vietnam under Lin Biao and a following a failed attempt to renegotiate the Security Treaty with the United States, the DJP splits. Leading the younger and more radical members into government with the assistance of some unpredictable members of the Socialist Party is Yukio Mishima, a nationalist poet and visionary who becomes Japan's youngest post-war Premier.

OOC: I figured you liked Ikeda. So basically according to the rules of the game I should basically have added: 1962 Ikeda wins elections, and wait for the next guy.
Fair enough, this game is actually more fun than I thought. I love Japanese history, but I haven´t studied or read much up on the post war period stuff. I wonder if anyone has read or written a good postwar Japan TL.

OOC: If a TL is well written it will eventually draw readers but yes, people don´t know enough about Japanese politics to be interested generally. It could be part of a very different East Asia TL.
