Japan had lost its entire fleet, it was done, it had maybe weeks to go before it had to give up. The nukes were used as a demonstration to russia. |
meh. keep in mind that the americans had to go find the japanese in island after island and fight every one of them. Given the past experiences and all of the bonzai attacks etc, I think that it is quite rational to assume that the japanese wouldn't surrender for a while.
