Wilsonizer’s post made me think of these numbers from an earlier post:
Comparing Quagmires:
Japan- VJ Day 8/15/1945- Constitution Ratified- 11/3/1946 1 Years 3 Months

Italy- VE Day 5/8/1945 Constitution Ratified- 12/11/1947 2 Years 7 Months
France- VE Day 5/8/1945 Constitution Ratified- (4th Version) 10/27/1946 (5th version) 10/4/1958 1,13 Years 5,5 Months
