Lets say, that the Manhattan project was ready only at 1946 and not 1945. Basicly a year later then what really happened.
I picked the year 1946, since this was also the year when the Soviet neutrality pack with Japan endet.

I also think it is possible, considering tha the "real nukes" also know as the hydron boms were really ready and operational only about 10-years after Hiroshima
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_bomb
So the Manhattan project drags onto to the year 1946, what happens?
One option always is, that America is willing to except a conditional surrender from Japan. Japan was not really a "Nazi allie" since they did not join into Hitlers barbarossa campaign against the Soviet Union like Italy, wich before this also joined in Hitlers war against France. Is taking over the western colonies like Indochina, Indonesia and the Philipines such a great sin, that is justifies the demand for unconditional surrender? We also know that Pearl Harbour was purposely provoked, and not even the first time such a thing happened!

If the allies demand uncondititional surrender, do they really have a realistic change of finising the war before the Soviet Union joins in the fight? Anglo-Saxon allied forces are basicly left with two alternatives;letting the Soviet Union to join the war and take Hokkaido, or settle for conditional surrender where Japan loses ALL the imperial colonies, but avoids allied occpuation and warcrime charges(and is also forced to pay some kind of compensation) Wich will they choose
