Highly iocerrnct. In fact, after the first bomb was dropped, half of the council in Japan(3/6) were still dead set on remaining in the war. Even after the second bomb, the emperor had to step in himself and force them to chose surrender. There is hard evidence showing Japan was far from convinced to end the war, let alone some mystical rejected attempt to surrender. In the 1970′s scholars argued the bomb was an attempt to ‘scare Russia.’ Sadly it still persists in simplistic tellings of history (like high school classrooms). But no credible scholars continue this dated debate. Read some modern historiography on the debate and you’ll quickly realize this. The slogan for Japan the summer of 1945 was ‘The sooner the Americans come the better. 100 million will die honorably’. Young girls were being trained to run at GI’s with… sewing needles.Just in the last few years scholars have uncovered great data that shows Japan knew where the American invasion would have come, and were preparing to slaughter them on the beaches.The bomb saved many, many lives. The debate over the bomb is dead. Only in one-sided museums in Japan do I still hear the bomb portrayed as an evil act by America with no strategic use.
