7、 Was it Necessary?. With the end of the European war, the Allies focused their efforts on Japan. Japan still fought fanatically, despite being badly hurt by bombing and blockade. The Potsdam Proclamation, which demanded the unconditional surrender of Japan, was issued. It made no mention of Japans c
8、entral surrender condition: the status of the Emperor. Japan rejected the Proclamation. The Japanese believed the Emperor to be a god (this is a key point). The U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Russia declared war against Japan. Japan, because of its military, still refused to su
9、rrender. Japanese peace advocates, fearing the imminent destruction of the Emperor, prevailed upon the Emperor to break with tradition and make government policy by calling for peace now. The Emperor did so. As the result of the Emperors call for surrender, the entire Japanese cabinet, including the

Was it necessary to use the atomic bomb on Japan to end the war without an invasion of the Japanese mainland? Quotes from historians who felt it was not necessary can be found in: Article. Quotes from prominent
13、Americans who felt the atomic bombings were not necessary can be found in: Quotes. We probably could have ended the war sooner with fewer deaths on all sides by using the full carrot and stick: 1) offer retention of the Emperor for a quick surrender; and 2) threaten Russian invasion and 3) atomic de
14、struction as the alternative. None of these key incentives to surrender were used prior to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Had the above method failed, and had the Russian invasion failed to bring surrender soon, the atomic bombs were still available - but as a last resort. After the atomic bombing
