Just gotta butterfly Anami's coup, after all...If Japan had surrendered after the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, there never would've been a need to invade.
All of Japan was pretty fucked up after the invasion. It took two decades for South Japan to claw its way back to prosperity.South Japan wouldn't have received the massive American investments it did as a bulwark against communism, which made it a high tech and industry center to this day.

They didn't surrender after we carpeted Tokyo with real bombs, I don't know why we thought an airdrop of bats wearing little arson packs was going to break them.
At least we managed to save Jeju.The partition was the only way. After that bloody mess in China, where Mao won anyway and took all of Korea with him, America didn't want to go through that again.
That was not mao but his puppet kim but still on point.The partition was the only way. After that bloody mess in China, where Mao won anyway and took all of Korea with him

Wonder what would be of Formosa in this scenario.
OOC: Damn things got that badly for Taiwan ITTL?Formosa...lemme Yahoo that...ah yes, the old name of Camp 101, the worst prison camp in the world. Check out the book "Hell Island" for all the gory details - and whatever you do, don't eat a full meal beforehand.

OOC: Seems USA got too busy with japanese hot potato well things that happen...OOC: Look up North Korea Camp 14 and imagine a huge country with a similar MO and an obvious place to shove the disloyal.
But a very prosperous one. Even though the reformists won the power struggle following Kim Il-Sung's death, the mainland still has yet to catch up.Kind of a mini rump state at this point.

OOC: We've already established that Mao won, retook Manchuria, and Taiwan, as well as Korea, somehow. I suspect Soviet backup.The situation might be a North and South Korea But Japan. Korea wold be under Full under Soviet control as Japan would be split somewhere in the middle. Japan Occupied Islands would be under Allies Occupation. Japanese occupied China would be given back Either to The Republic of China or Communist China.
Camp 101's a horrific place, but that being said, there are significant rallies and protests throughout China to have them closed down. Then again, given how the PRC has dealt with protesters in the past... Hopefully the Politiburo sees reason.Kind of a mini rump state at this point.
Well of course it was Kim calling the shots but Mao still gets most of the credit.
