Why didn't the U.S. annex Japan after WW2?
Did the United States have any plans to annex other countries after World War 2?
Not to my knowledge, no. The United States was primarily focused on restoring stability to Europe and Asia after the war, and promoting democracy and capitalism in those regions. There were certainly other countries that the United States had conflicts with during this time, but annexation was not seen as a desirable or feasible option in most cases.
