[quote=YINDUFFY,306440]In 1945 the British didn't want the U.S. to invade Japan's home islands until they had taken back Hong Kong by a combined overland and Naval attack. How many Chinese would have died in that effort? All the Japanese troops in China were still fighting and would not surrender peacefully unless the Emperor ordered them. Their justification for surrender was that the enemy was using "the power that the Sun uses" and since their Royalty was descended from the Sun God it was not considered dishonorable to submit. Conventional weapons were fearful enough but many, many Japanese and Allied troops would have suffered in the prolonged invasion of Japan's homeland. The war ended quickly and the Japanese, for the most part, laid down their arms and accepted the wishes of the Emperor. The rebuilding began almost immediately. Prisoners and interned civilians were released. [/quote]
