Nuclear power never discovered

I have read that without Nuclear power/weapons the United States was preparing to launch an all out invasion of Japan home islands. Estimates put death toll of over 500,000 to 1 million on both sides.

Japan had kamakasi personal subs and boats ready to launch at invasion fleet. So the biggest initial reprecusion of no nuclear power would be 100s of thousands of additional people killed and I wounder if Japan could of rebuilt the way it did after that.

How would American attitudes be if they sustained that many more deaths?

That's downfall, it may or may not be launched, is anyone's guess, Japan was starving, losing a city a week and things were getting worse quickly, losing Mainland possessions and maybe Hokkaido to the Soviets, may surrender anyways

If we go through with it, take over a million dead and let the chemical genie out of the bottle again as planned, then the US will be in a position of saying hell no, we are never doing this again and likely become more hawk like to stop things early
