They weren't that small. I'm sure everyone has seen the horrific photos of the aftermath of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

It seems absurd to me that I could drop an infinite number of nukes on Japan, and Japan will keep on fighting as long as they hold onto one core. Historically, Japan controlled all of Korea, most of southeast Asia and significant parts of China as of August 1945.


That may be true. But Japan IRL did not surrender because of the atomic bombs. Indeed many of the motivators so to speak for Japanese surrender can’t be discussed on this forum, and most certainly not replicated in game.

as much as anything else, Japan wanted to not be split into a Communist north and a Capitalist south the way Korea was, which is what would have happened if they continued fighting. The nukes just gave them an extra push, once the Soviets were in Korea and South Sakhalin it was a matter of time that they would surrender unconditionally.

:sigh: Some folks need to read the forum rules.

We aren't discussing genocide, war crimes, and topics of that kind. We are also not discussing terror bombing against civilian populations. As the rules make clear, threads discussing these things will be closed without discussion.

Thread closed.
