| The thesis will focus on the post war period, precisely the first decade of post war time (1945 ~ 1955) to research the reparation costs and distribution of compensation provided by Japan and Germany.
War crimes that occurred during the WWII has left huge impact on political and ethical philosophy. War itself being destructive human activity to the society has been followed up by the vanquished nations to pay the reparation and compensation for the war costs and war crimes. As well war criminals were stood on trials, judged and sentenced in consequence to their criminal acts. After war, in 1945 July, a conference in Potsdam, Germany, has settled an agreement named Potsdam Declaration which made Axis nations to pay for the damage caused to the Allies nations. The thesis will compare the value of compensation in justice and ethical philosophical view from the 20th century philosophers, Hannah Arendt and Jürgen Habermas, to understand the moral disturbance and disorder of the war and war crime. As well the thesis will reflect on economical situation of the two nations during the proposed time period accessing if the compensation was provided in an appropriate amount of punishment levied by the two nations.
