Anyone who doubts Japan’s stubbornness, resolve, devotion, etc. needs to understand this:
Hiroshima was bombed with a horrible weapon.
Japan didn’t surrender after this first A-bomb was dropped.
Japan had no defense or counter offense for the A-bomb.
Japan was not planning to surrender at all.
Japan was sending out peace feelers thru the Swedish Embassy weeks before the bomb dropped.
It was actually a close call that they caved on 2. The military brought in one of their scientists who rightly assessed they were fission atomic bombs and also correctly guessed we at best had one more completed and would be months away from further production after that. There was a weak attempt at a coup around this time which was to be justified by the Emperor being surrounded by people “giving him bad advice”.
