Is Japanese democracy an isolated example?

Upvote:3

Your question has several criteria:

  1. Country is invaded by a foreign power
  2. A "democratic" system is imposed upon the people who live there by the foreign power
  3. After the foreign power leaves a "democracy" remains.

Examples of this are legion. Here are a non-complete list of countries that experienced this:

  • Canada
  • India
  • Pakistan
  • Bangladesh
  • Maylasia
  • South Korea
  • Botswana
  • Mauritius
  • Cape Verde
  • Senegal
  • Ghana
  • Nigeria
  • Sao Tome and Principe
  • Namibia
  • South Africa
  • Benin
  • Jamaica
  • Germany
  • Italy

There are probably a lot more. I put democracy in quotes because it's not really an objectively definable thing.
