What if the nukes were late, not as effective, or they were denied by the United States? What if Operation Downfall was enacted? These are just a few questions I'd liked answered. Thank you.
1) How large was the naval invasion force at Kyushu and Kanto that formed the beachhead?
2) How long would Japanese organizer military forces last and how long would the guerrillas last?
3) Would the Soviets invade the rest of Northern Japan after Hokkaido?
4) How large would the Soviet invasion be?
5) How many guerrillas and organized Japanese forces would there be?
6) Would Korea be split? Would Japan be split?
7) Would a war happen between Communist and Capitalist Japan? Would Japanese revolt against the Soviets?
8) Would Japan still remove it's military? What would be the Japanese-Allied relations internationally and socially?
9) What would happen to Chinese occupied Japan? Would it fall to communism or would it be absorbed by NATO?
10) What is the best estimate casualties and fatalities for both sides? How much would reparations and reconstruction cost? How much would the invasion cost?
Bonus) Would NATO intervene in China? What would happen if they lost or won? Who is the most likely to win? What would happen if Downfall happened overall?
