Japan attacked USA first by bombing Pearl harbour back in December 1941. USA had no alternative to drop the nuclear bombs on Japan: Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Japanese surrendered immediately after the second nuclear bomb.

Well they could of invaded and had a bloodier more drawn out battle that likely would of killed more people... and split Japan north and south between Russia and the US....
Pretty much making the "Japanese Miracle" impossible... leaving japan in shambles no where near where it is today and close to a country like Vietnam in stature.
Which of course would mean no videogame systems.
The Nuclear attack actually worked out to be the better solution.
You can debate the second bomb... but the first one kinda saved Japan's ass in retrospect. Had Russia gotten hold of the North... they would not be in a good situation... and probably have some sort of created enthinic clash, since it seems like every state seems to have an ethnic clash after the Russians moved in. They love to pit races who used to get along together against each other for their own gain...
like the current situation actually where the Ossetians and Georgians used to be best friends, living together, marrying etc. Then the Soviet Union rolls in and suddenly nobody likes each other afterwords.
