LetsDiscuss: today, 62 years ago - after Hiroshima


The allied invasion of Japan was not due for another three months. Yet, after Hiroshima, the Japanese people were given less than two days, to force their rulers to surrender, or they faced certain death by incineration. These were innocent civilians, being told of a certain and horrifying death, if their leaders did not comply with the American wishes.

    There is increasing evidence to suggest that the Japanese were trying to negotiate a surrender at the time, under the same terms as the 'de facto' terms if the unconditional surrender. The tragedy could have been prevented.
