> Yup, else they might try to decide to wait it out and build their own bomb I don't believe this thought crossed the mind of military planners, even the most pessimistic ones. Japan by mid 1945 was reduced to rubble, with nearly zero serious industrial capacity and under a maritime blockade. I think the best they could do is to continue as a semi-destroyed agrarian society with just enough guns and cold weapons to impose unacceptable casualties on would-be occupants - and in that state they would probably be able to last for quite a while. But obtaining a nuclear weapon of their own was out of the question for Japan. |
