Democracy can't be given. I thought even you would see that by now.

Seems to have worked in Japan, hasn't it.

How long was Japan occupied for? Fifty years?

Your ignorance is truly breathtaking. You barge around making assumptions
that have absolutely no basis in fact, but when your errors are pointed out
you either ignore them as if they never happened or pretend they don't
matter.

The occupation of Japan ended early in 1952 when a treaty signed the
previous year came into effect. So no, Harry, Japan was not occupied for
fifty years, it was occupied for less than seven years.

It was enforced there too, not given.

Ah, so now you make up a new meaningless category in hopes of explaining
away your previous foolishness. "Enforced" democracy doesn't count, it
isn't the same as the mythical "given" democracy you referred to earlier.

Meanwhile India is still a democracy, a status it gained only when Britain
finally ended its centuries-long occupation of that country. So it would
appear there is another kind of democracy in addition to "given" and
"enforced"--it's called We Finally Got Rid Of Those Limey Colonialists.
Say, come to think of it the same thing happened in the United States of
America too, only in that case the Brits left at the point of a bayonet
rather than because they were bankrupt and could no longer afford to hold
onto their empire.
