As we all know, Japan announced its surrender on August 15, 1945, and it was really not as easy as we saw, most people in Japan did not accept surrender, and there were many suicides in the country during that period. History records that Japan surrendered unconditionally, but in fact Japan did not surrender unconditionally, and if it did not accede to this demand, it would never surrender.
In fact, after Germany's defeat and surrender, the Japanese emperor was also prepared to surrender, but the generals in the Japanese army were resolutely opposed, because they knew very well that once they announced their surrender as war criminals, they would definitely be sent to the International Military Tribunal for trial, so after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, the chief of the Japanese Naval Command said that if Japan surrendered, the following three conditions must be met:
First, Japanese war criminals should be dealt with on their own; second, the Allied forces could not garrison troops on the Japanese mainland; third, they should disarm themselves. But the meeting did not yield any results, but the Japanese emperor was very clear on the one hand because of the atomic bomb, and on the other hand because of the Soviet attack, so for Japan at that time to accept the Potsdam Proclamation surrender is the only way, but Japan did not surrender unconditionally, and the condition was that the emperor system must be retained.
In fact, the reason why Japan retained the emperor system was to revive, so the Japanese emperor announced his surrender, and after the news spread, there was a cry in Japan, and if the Allies did not retain the emperor system, then more fierce battles would be fought in Japan.
At the same time, the United States is also sure that the Japanese emperor will not cause them any harm, and Japan can obediently surrender, so it can be seen that although Japan surrenders, it is also a good heart, and they still have a hand for future rejuvenation.
