Did Japan really surrender because of the atomic bomb? Maybe that's the key. Japan surrendered mainly because the people at home have long been out of favor, assuming that the United States did not choose to drop atomic bombs on Japan, is it possible for Japan to continue to resist? In fact, they will not choose to continue to resist at all, this is because when the Japanese people's life entered the late stage of World War II, it was already impossible to compare with before, and there was a serious shortage of food in the country, even if they had guns and ammunition, how could they sustain it without food? In the second half of the war, many people in Japan had already starved to death, and if they continued to resist stubbornly, perhaps before the franchisee army was stationed, this group of people would have already starved to death.
In the beginning, although Japan had a certain pressure of food shortage, but overall there was a very good diet, so they would whimsically attack Pearl Harbor. This made the United States extremely angry, and eventually set off a Pacific war. Although Japan had a powerful fleet, the United States also sent many submarines in the Pacific Theater, and the two sides fought a fierce war, which seriously damaged Japan and seriously injured its vitality.
Japan still had some grain in its hands before the Pearl Harbor war broke out, but after a year, Japan's grain stocks fell badly. By 1945, Japan's grain stocks were woefully low. What is even more fatal is that Japan is experiencing a great famine, the whole country is basically grainless, and the army is seriously short of food. Therefore, Japan can only choose to preserve its strength and carry out some strategic retreats.
For the United States, the war must end as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would cause harm to the United States, which had planned to bomb Japan's agriculture and industry with warplanes. In this way, not only can japan weaken its strength, but also psychologically destroy their will to fight, if Japan continues to choose resistance, it is estimated that in less than a year, they will starve to death, so the fundamental reason for Japan's surrender may not be fear of atomic bombs, but fear of hunger. The two atomic bombs that the United States dropped on them were only the last straw that crushed the camels.
