Was another country ever as relatively kind to its defeated foe as America was to Japan or Germany, post-war?

Considering that a large reason the Nazi party was able to rise as it did so soon after WW1 was that Germany was forced to pay so much for what they had done in that war, ensuring that there would be little reason for something similar to happen again is just good sense.

Japan has yet to apologize formally

Hasn't Japan made several formal apologies for war atrocities? I seem to recall there's even a list of them at wikipedia.

Yes, it is "just good sense" but it was also a humanitarian choice.

I think what I should have said, is that Japan has yet to make an apology to satisfy its East Asian neighbors, especially when the Prime Ministers insist on visiting Yasukuni shrine, where war criminals are interred. The issue's more complicated than I can do justice: http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Japan/FJ06Dh01.html Also, I don't think actual "restitution" has been made (not that the $20,000 paid to internment camp victims by America can make everything right, for example, but it's significant).

Japanese heads of state, or members of the various cabinets, have over the years made apologies, but none has been that specific. And when they're pressed to apologize for specific issues, such as comfort women, they shut down discussion of it really fast. (And fun fact: right now there's a minor diplomatic kerfuffle being created around Korean-American monuments to comfort women in the US that Japanese officials want taken down. The point I'm trying to make is that history is still really hotly contested by the government, issues of apologies aside. And that's a problem.)
