>>4241038No, the Japanese were willing to surrender since they have already signed treaties with the Soviets to give up, and that was before they got nuked. America wanted to completely control the fate of the emperor and Japan’s constitution, but because the Japanese agreed to everything except for giving up the emperor, they got nuked twice before the emperor gave himself up, only for America to decide to keep the emperor in power anyway.
Even in the off-chance they were coaxed to invading, are you suggesting that the lives of 500,000 soldiers are somehow worth more than the lives of millions of civilians? The nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was nothing more than an act of a power flex, and that power flex is the whole reason why the Cold War exists and why both Russia and America have the biggest caches of nukes.
