Like for example, peopel said Japan wanted to surrender before the nukes

Hmm some of them probably

the emporer was stubborn as fuck japanese Pride and all that

But it wasnt unconditional, they would continue their autrocities in china, korea, and malaysia

I have ancestors that remember running when their non chinese naighbours would warn them

Thats the sad thing about history its litterally our Chronology of how many we kill of ourselves to figure out how to live together

The emperor of Japan st the time was actually apart of the piece faction

I also seen a river, the river that people say its haunted since the kempetai would throw corpses into it

was he ?

then i must have it incorrect sir i appologize

Problem is, there is also a very large military presence in politics

The emperor has always been powerless in Japan

War is a political tool best used as a last resort

If I recall, the US suspected of a plan by the millitary to usurp the emperor if they decided the emperor was no longer following the path

No, but the Emperor is very influential

its more of a Symbol

The jingoist war leaders wanted to continue and had Germany not fallen and the bombs not dropped they would have for decades more

And having the emperor who might give peace, is better than a general who would rather Japan burn

Yup your right on that Codes

If the US never had a Atomic weapon they would have invaded

But wernt they counting on the US to invade with ground forces

yeah

they expected it

they were basically brainwashing their own peoplei nto performing suicide attacks should they do it

They were not counting on the USSR invading them too

banzaaai !!

Im talking running into Amercian soldiers with grenades in hand

Strap satchel Charge on chest and run

yeah the Grenade attacks

aswell as the Suicide before surrender in the bunkers

Still, I was sure the USSR was mostly defensive late into the war

In a documentary a WW 2 vet said we killed them like animals because they kept attacking us like animals

That was just the culture of Japan

The toll of the war around the eastern front was massive

I mean the Japs were vicious fuckers.

yeah

Ferocity of an animal, honor of a man.

Combine those and you get very loyal troops.

i have to respect the japanese fighting spirit
