Well Japan historically refused to surrender after the first atom bomb......proving this threads theory wrong. They should have saw an out when it first happened but chose to carry on. Only after the second strike in nagasaki did Japan finally give up. 86 cities......which costed many Allied lives, and money, equipment, but mostly time. This strategy just needed a single pilot and a single plane, and the entire cities became destoryed in less then a minute. This was a game changer and this is why the war ended. |
America had all the time in the world compared to Japan, the Japanese didn't after the Soviet Union joined the war it was a short timeline to make decisions. There's another perspective that would argue that because they didn't surrender after the first atom bomb that would mean it didn't make a difference to them whether it was an atomic strike or a conventional strike.
