What people who spam /jp/ with this atom bomb stuff in a failure attempt of a troll fail to realize is that /jp/ doesn't give a fuck about Japan or its people, contrary to board name, just the shit they make. Kinda like /a/ with the anime and mods spamming gay porn.

Japan will never live that down. They can build a hydrogen reactor, and take over Europe and the USA with a laser cannon, but we'll always be able to laugh at them for getting pwned (not once) but twice by our nukes.

Isn't it ironic how America had to harness the power of the atom in order to beat a nation that until then had been ruling the Pacific area with nothing but outdated weaponry and sheer might? You were so much into a jam you had to beg Jewish, German, Italian and Hungarian scientists to build a bomb for you.
America, I ask you: who rwally had to compromise with the enemy?

And who in his right mind would have acquiesced to send another million men to die on the shores of the Home Isles only to have whatever little land they could have grabbed on their way into the inland be retaken by the Emperor's troops within months?
As much of a warmonger and genocider as Truman was, even he acknowledged that by doing so he would've only raised the odds for a public upheaval that would've made America collapse from the inside.
This is the same reason Russia fell to the Bolsheviks during WWI. Despite the national economy being strained towards war efforts, nothing fruitful came of it, so people took up arms against the central government and toppled it.
Even in 1945 the Russian Revolution still resonated in the public conscious. Truman knew it full well, you can bet it, and he didn't want America to be the next to fall.
That's why he had to go to such lengths, because there was no other way around it. America would have otherwise come out as a loser, even a winner.

Link to a valid source that says 1 million people would have been killed.

Also link to a source saying why an offshore demonstration wouldn't suffice. Or a smaller city / less populated area. Or one bomb rather than two.

>Or one bomb rather than two.
Because they didn't surrender after the first? Duh?

That fact also shows that your other methods would not have been sufficient.

>> No.3563478

>>3563474
They didn't surrender right away, but three days isn't a very long time. Also the USSR declared war on Japan the same day the US decided to drop the second bomb, so it's arguable the Soviet threat would have made them surrender.

A study done for Secretary of War Henry Stimson's staff by William Shockley estimated that conquering Japan would cost 1.7 to 4 million American casualties, including 400,000 to 800,000 fatalities, and five to ten million Japanese fatalities. The key assumption was large-scale participation by civilians in the defense of Japan.[1]

If the Soviets had taken over Japan, America would've been in much deeper shit. That's the reason they wanted to get Japan on its knees before the Soviets did.

Exactly, which is why I'm saying there were other reasons besides falsified numbers of supposed casualties that would have come from an invasion for bombing Japan.

People complain loudly NOW about 4-5k US soldiers killed in Iraq + Afghanistan in 6 years of war.

In WW2, 4-5k people were killed a day in some battles. There's a limit to patriotism. Throwing away half a million lives when there was an alternative would have provoked a harsh backlash against the government.
