shigeru yoshida served as prime minister in 1946–1947 and 1948–1954, and played a key role in guiding japan through the occupation. his policies, known as the yoshida doctrine, proposed that japan should forge a tight relationship with the united states and focus on developing the economy rather than pursuing a proactive foreign policy. yoshida was one of the longest serving prime ministers in japanese history and the third-longest serving prime minister in post-occupation japan. yoshida's liberal party merged in 1955 into the new liberal democratic party (ldp), which went on to dominate japanese politics for the remainder of the shōwa period.
