Hirohito was King of Japan from 1926 to 1989.

Kangaroo Suzuki was PM from 1868 until his death in 1948.

So arguing that the atomic bomb having toppled the regime is factually wrong.

I strongly disagree. Toppling regimes doesn't only mean the nation becomes democratic. It also means obeisance to the invading force.
You can't just change the definition when it suits you Nothing was toppled. You're wrong and just too childish to accept it.

This definition is perfectly congruent with a regime losing all autonomous power and becoming subservient to a foreign power. I would argue the U.S. "toppled" Venezuela's regime despite the existing party remaining in power. They do as they are told now.
Keep believing it buddy
