These two regions seem to have experienced dramatic cultural and political shifts, going through much after the pain of war and genocides, the Cold War, American influence and help rebuilding, changes in cultural attitudes (eg. secularization, liberalization in social norms, and the rise of the welfare state in western Europe to the point that it is more than the USA, which it used to be more conservative than; the rise of the EU; stuff like Japan embracing so much American pop culture and being rebuilt through American guidance), industrialization (South Korea was treated once as a third-world country to donate to, like African ones today), pacification (Germany being staunchly pacifist now, a couple generations after the horrors of the Holocaust).
Which region do you think has changed more during this time, from WWII to become what it is today in this modern era?
