Zikten 03/27/23 1:48:24 AM #1:	Made by the people who made Band of Brothers. Set in a timeline where the Manhattan Project failed. They aren't able to create a nuclear bomb. So the old fashioned invasion of Japan takes place. The show focuses on a specific squad or platoon or whatever as they head to Japan, invade and battle their way to Tokyo <cite>Zikten posted [p:972437595] in Would you ...

ellis123 03/27/23 1:56:51 AM #5:	Garioshi posted... Why would they invade Japan when Japan was fucking crippled by the US naval blockade A common trend in schlocky alt-history is that it takes a lot of liberties with the intelligence of anyone involved with the goal of making more action set pieces for the utterly uninterested viewer base. Blockades are effective, but seeing people shooting each other means that they can throw patriotic music while the viewers clap and drool. Zikten posted... Well weren't they going to? At some point I thought everyone expected to invade. It only didn't happen because of the bomb Japan wouldn't surrender No. The most likely thing would have been a short lasting blockade -> surrender. Japan was largely on the cusp of surrender regardless of the bombs, it is one of the reasons that there are so many people that view the bombs as excessive in a horrifying way. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

It only didn't happen because of the bomb Japan wouldn't surrender Japan didn't surrender because they were holding out hope for the USSR to help negotiage their surrender. The USSR invaded 3 days after the first nuke was dropped (the date was agreed upon at Yalta, this was not the USSR being opportunistic), and Japan surrendered soon after. --- "I play with myself" - Darklit_Minuet, 2018 <cite>Garioshi posted [p:972437683] in Would you ...
