As we know, the japanese empire had surrendered unconditionally in july of 1945 after the massive american firebombing raid that destroyed most of tokyo and killed prince Akihito, prompting the japanese government to surrender (but a few divisions in overseas territory that refused to do it at first, but dropped their weapons after they realized how their situation was hopeless)
Some historians says that if Japan kept fighting, the american government could use that as a excuse to use the atomic bomb on them, and according to recently discovered documents the american government really planned to do that, even dispatching their B29 to do the mission
So if the japanese kept fighting, would they be nuked? Also could the soviet union have invaded the japanese puppet state on Manchuria, maybe giving any chance for a communist victory on the chinese civil war?
