If Japan wanted to surrender they would have surrendered Land war was incoming and they were on the brink of starvation 60k townspeople vs 60k soldiers and many more in starvation you choose nvm that we dropped the bomb twice They were at war to claim land to keep their growing population afloat. Japan got its oil from the US but it wasn't enough so they took oil rich land. The US threatened to withdraw oil sales if they didn't stop expansion and since Japan couldn't get enough anyway, they forged ahead to claim energy independence. They were in between a rock and a hard place, surrender wasn't an acceptable option when they weren't going to be any better off if they did swallow their pride. Given usable terms they would have surrendered but that wasn't in the US's interest. Japan invaded mainland china and all hell broke loose that land was never their right to claim, nor where it's peoples ready to surrender to Japan where the chinese and phillipines going to learn japanese? an isolationist nation? yeah ok... --- Bloodborne's Themes Explored https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv2-IxQ8VTQ <cite>RoboXgp89 posted [p:891361754] in Is it okay...
