The military faction was still holding out for a negotiated settlement. Only the intervention of the Emperor ended the war. On the night of August 14 some young military officers attempted a coup to oust the Emperor and continue the war.
You are wrong.
Nope. I have no opinion on that. It was an idea which I hadn't heard before, a variant of the view that Stalin had a deal with the Japanese, but stabbed them in them back. Had you clicked on the
link I provided you would have realized there was some historical evidence for the views expressed.
You, on the other hand, seem to have strongly held opinions and willingness to express them, though not coherently, and without explanation or support. But you could be on to something. Send me a link to some historical evidence, specifically how your three statements tie together to explain the events, and showing that the Japanese thought or at least hoped the Soviets would help with a conditional surrender of some sort, and that the Soviet invasion of Manchuria and rapid defeat of the Japanese military there had nothing to do with prompting Japan's sudden unconditional surrender. Thanks.
