Some interesting facts about war with Japan
For example: the military did not want to surrender. The emperor had to prerecord his message to the people and then leave the palace. The generals went to physically stop him but they were outsmarted. Also we always demanded unconditional surrender. Including removing the emperor but we in the end allowed him to keep his throne. But MacArthur was the man in control of japan during our occupation. The Japanese it’s said learned to respect him. I just wonder if we let emperor stay anyway how much sooner could the war have ended. Not to mention after both atomic bombs they were not ready to surrender I believe Russia came down and they would have had to fight them on that a second front. Thank god we didn’t invade main island. It would have been a blood bath.
