The USSR did battle Japan for Manchuria...

lemay leaflets were garbage

...or was it Korea?

they didnt list hiroshima or nagasaki

and it was understandable to expect a fire bombing

korea was divided up after the war

Yep.

plus, leaflets for nagasaki were dropped AFTER THEY NUKED NAGASAKI i believe

ive looked into this alot,

And I can't remember if Russia invaded Manchuria or Korea in 1945...

the united states did not need to nuke japan

it had no real effect on the surrender

most likely korea

and it should basically be considered a war crime

Shhh...

hiroshima was chosen not because it was a military target

but because it was compact

...War Crimes are dictated by the Victors.

it "had a military compound"

but thats basically an excuse

mao was also in china at this time

They were trying to find any excuse they could to end the War.

im not sure if kim il sung was active during this period

If bombs were not used, I doubt that the Japanese would've surrounded without a proper fight.

yeah

the dresden bombing was more vicious than the nukes imo

The Japaneese thought their emporer was a god

It was, but nobody cares about Dresden.

It's hard to surrender when you think your leader is god

Why did you ping staff?

YES MIEN FUHER

Most would've rather died for the Emperor than bring shame on to their families by surrendering.
