Hey guys. As many of you know, Operation Downfall was one of the most brutal offensives of the war. It cost the lives of over two million Japanese and saw Japan's division into the US-backed Republic of Japan and the Soviet-backed People's Republic of Japan (more commonly known as Ezo) on the island of Hokkaido. Many argue that, had we used the recently developed atomic bomb at the time, we could have avoided such brutality, and it's still a controversial discussion to this day.
What do you guys think would happen if we used nuclear force?
