I just have some questions about the expected casualties for the USA/Allies in a ground invasion of the Japanese home isles, and the expected reduction of the Japanese population in such an event.

Then I have some questions about what amount of territory could the USA annex as compensation for Japans war debt, and with a look at the reduced population levels in Japan post invasion.

Finally, I have some questions regarding what effect the presence of a large 'colony' of the USA would have if established on one of the former Japanese home islands, on events that took place from 1945-1955 (China going communist, and the Korean war) in OTL and beyond.

Where should I look for these types of things, and what works would be a "must read" for this kind of thread?

So for the poll,

IF ground invasion, AND 1 million plus USA/Allied casualties, and Japanese population reduced massively in the course of the above, THEN could the USA annex the Kyushu island of Japan, and relocate any surviving Japanese poplation to the other islands?

And what about all the little islands leading to the south west?
