On August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender to the world. Since then, the Chinese people have declared victory in the 8-year War of Resistance. Regarding Japan's surrender, many people believe that this is caused by the Two Atomic Bombs dropped by the United States on Japan. In fact, the real reason for Japan's surrender was revealed, and it was concealed for 70 years, not two atomic bombs.
When Japan surrendered, there were more than 700,000 troops in Northeast China and Korea alone. Combined with the strength of other battlefields, Japan's total strength even exceeded more than 2.3 million. It is understood that just when Japan was completely defeated, in order to save the situation of defeat, Japan also set up a suicide special attack team, and Japan also launched a "100 million jade fragments" battle plan. From the whole point of view, japan has no intention of surrendering since the United States dropped two atomic bombs.
The explosion of the two atomic bombs as we know it only accelerated the pace of Japan's surrender, not the real cause of the surrender. So what was the real reason for Japan's surrender? In fact, the main reason for Japan's surrender was the participation of the Soviet Union in the war. It is understood that after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, Japan did not declare its surrender. Japan also believed that if the Soviet Union could mediate, then Japan would have hope of fighting again, and even if it failed, it would not be so tragic.
It was not until August 9, 1945, that as the Soviet Union declared war on Japan, 1.5 million Soviet troops attacked japan's Kwantung Army. At this time, the Japanese people panicked. Soon after, Japan was completely defeated and no longer had the ability to fight again. So, on August 15, Japan announced its unconditional surrender. This was also the reason why Japan eventually surrendered.
