When We Dropped The Atomic Bombs…..

Something left out is the Soviet Union at the time was about to enter the war with Japan as well. Japanese already had a big beef with the Soviets so better to take their chances with the Americans than the communists. Think about the ramifications if the Soviets had taken control of Japan and all of Korea as well as China. They surrendered to US forces instead. Communists won in China, but eventually were stopped in Korea a few years later. Otherwise the balance of power would have been quite different..
