Japan and Germany. The important thing to remember is the cost we paid for them to become Democratic. It was huge in comparison to our current war in Iraq. Everybody in America at that time sacrificed something for the war effort. they stuck with it because they understood the consequences of giving up.

West Germany after international conflict II is the obtrusive occasion. you need to quibble that as Germany were a democracy interior the 1920s there became some vestige of democratic custom. Italy in international conflict II isn't a solid occasion: Mussolini ruled decrease than a figurehead King, who grew to become out to no longer be the kind of figurehead simply by fact he sacked Mussolini in 1943 in simple terms in the previous the Allies invaded. i might even have qualms approximately pointing out Japan to illustrate simply by fact the U. S., and specifically regular McArthur, allowed the Emperor to stay as a constitutional monarch with a view to construct up Japan as an anti-Soviet state i think of you would be suitable to suspect that examples of the imposition of democracy by using exterior powers are uncommon. Any political equipment formed by using the lifestyle, background and social attitudes equipped up by using the rustic's human beings over an prolonged quantity of time. the quantity to which those impacts can be replaced by using the formal imposition of a shape, criminal equipment and parliamentary arrangements is particularly incredibly small. Leaving aside democracy, the failure of the Soviet Univon attempt to impose communism on jap Europe shows how the governance of any u . s . relies upon interior the long term upon inner regularly occurring help.

Democracy has never been something that you can force on another country. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. Many people who have lived under a controlling dictatorship are so used to having decisions made for them that they are not able to make good chooses and there for democracy fails because the people go Hungary and their economy fails. This is what happened in Russia. The people were better off under Communist rule because at least they ate had roofs over their heads and they had medical care. Democracy comes with a high price of sacrifice first of lives to overthrow the dictatorship and then in economic hardship and sacrifice as those who made the sacrifice learn to govern themselves and be responsible for their own welfare. I am not saying that these people are ignorant, lazy or unwilling they just have not been equipped with the necessary tools to be successful

How do you 'impose' the freedom to choose their political leaders on somebody? You can only 'impose' if you do not allow things like elections.
The moment you have an election - you have granted freedom of choice to those people.
For example - in Iraq we gave the Iraqi people the opportunity to choose the form of government they wanted. They choose a parliamentary democracy.

"imposed " is the wrong word. That would mean no one else wants democracy.
And actually yes . The land is called United States of America
In America there were more pro-Britain "Americans" than pro-freedom Americans in the start of the reveloutionary war. And more French citizens fought in our Revolutionary War than "American" (We were not America yet) citizens.

Imposed? You make it sound like people would rather live under a dictator. Given the choice, who wouldn't rather be free to choose how to live their life?
Like the other posters said, we successfully "imposed" democracy on Germany and Japan. And, gosh, history has sure shown that to be a horrible change for their countries, hasn't it?

People in Iraq would rather live under a 'democratic' government run by their particular religion. Problem is - there are several religions there and none will give in to the other. There is really no solution for Iraq. They will end up with another dictator to keep them all at bay from one another.
One thing you can say for these people - they are bound and determined to protect their religious views. No one is going to change them.
