A) Truman couldn't accept the Treaty.  Stalin and Churchill demanded an unconditional surrender as agreed to by Roosevelt.


B) Hirohito could not promise a surrender.  He was offering one and talking about one.  However his word wasn't final.  A ceasefire could only be agreed opon if the entire Japanese cabinent agreed.  Which, they in fact didn't.  Horihito actually didn't have supreme power.

In general, the Japanese believed that if they fought hard enough, and mounted a strong enough fighting force, including actually everyone of military age, the Americans would instead somehow be forced to accept a conditional surrender.

The Terms of that surrender.

1) The preservation of the Military dictatorship.

2) Nobody gets tried for warcrimes.

3) No Troops in Japan

4) They get to Keep Korea and Taiwan.

 

I thought that had conquered  more territories than that.
