We gave Japan plenty of warnings and let people know ahead of time. A land invasion would have dwarfed that of D-Day and at the end, would have left millions of Japanese citizens dead. It's well documented that on individual islands, the Japanese fought to the last man and at all costs, civilians included; there have been times they committed mass suicide

Japanese attacked America unprovoked and without any warning
Quote from: KinderEssen on December 07, 2014, 07:36:12 PMJapanese attacked America unprovoked and without any warningUmm...Diplomatically, didn't we essentially slap them in the face beforehand for their Imperialism and barbarism in war? Didn't the Navy spot warning signs prior as well?

It's well documented that on individual islands, the Japanese fought to the last man and at all costs, civilians included; there have been times they committed mass suicideThe war was going to end anyway with Russia and Britain about to invade Japan. We didn't even need to invade Japan, they would have surrendered. Also Japan started the war with the United States because it was their only choice to continue building their country. The U.S cut off Japan's oil supply and Japan had no natural oil fields. They had no choice but to start a war for resources.
