I think Japan would have won if not for China. The main reason Japan lost the war was that it started a war with US, and the reason for the war with US was the oil shortage caused by US's oil export restrictions. Without the Sino-Japanese war, Japan would have been able to control Southeast Asia earlier than in historical fact, and if that had happened, the oil shortage would have been resolved and there would be no reason for Japan to go to war with US. And this would affect the war between Germany and the USSR.

My grandfather, aged 16, alongside two of his brothers, 15 and 19, were conscripted in 1938 and fought through the war against Japan. His younger brother died from Japanese artillery during the battle of Wuhan; he said he couldn't find his body as the shell had just shattered him into pieces. By the end of the war, his older brother was already a company commander. They then participated in the following civil war, during which their units got separated during the campaign of Huaihai. The battalion of his older brother managed to break out of the Communists encirclement during their final retreat and eventually went to Taiwan with the ROC government. But my grandfather was captured and was then enlisted into the PLA straight away due to his age and experiences. Grandfather later was sent to Korea as a part of the PVA during the Korean War in 1950. And that's where he lost his entire company of men and three of his fingers from frostbite. His older brother settled in Taiwan and pursued a career in the police force, in which he eventually became the deputy chief of the police of Taoyuan. He and his brother were eventually reunited in 1987 after 38 years of separation as improved diplomatic relations between China and Taiwan opened a route for a large number of people who sought to visit their separated close relatives in mainland China after decades of separation. Sadly, their Mother passed away just a year before their reunification, that she wouldn't live to see her eldest son ever again since he left home in 1938. Grandfather passed away in 2009. RIP 爷爷, his entire life was basically a chapter in Chinese history, a page that was filled with pain and despair, but yet with strength and resilience. Hope he is in a better place, now, reunited with all his brothers, beside his mum, in a world where there is no war and hunger.

Even after the Soviet invasion and second bombing, Japan was unwilling to surrender unconditionally. Their original terms had been: * The Emperor remains in power. * No foreign occupation of Japan, Korea or Formosa (Taiwan). * Self administration of disarmament. * Self administration of war crimes accusations. After Nagasaki, the Emperor ordered a surrender offered on only the first term. That was rejected and followed by a leaflets dropped from bombers, informing the Japanese people of the atomic bombings, the surrender negotiations and the demand for unconditional surrender. It also threatened more nuclear strikes if Japan did not surrender. At that point, members of the Big Six basically told the Emperor that if Japan did not surrender immediately, he was likely to be face either a popular rebellion (demanding surrender) or a military coup (to halt the negotiations). As to the casualties of the bomb, it is worth keeping in mind the situation on the mainland. The Japanese occupation of Asia was incredibly brutal, and in 1945 it ramped up to new levels. On average, 20,000 civilians were executed and another 80,000 died due to conditions imposed by the occupation every week. A two week delay in the end of the occupation (and ability to deliver relief) would have resulted in as many civilian deaths as the bombs (more if the bombs were taken off the table and Hiroshima released as a firebombing target). Plans for an invasion estimated the Japanese would resist for several months.

Fuck America 🇺🇸 ㅗ . 미국은 침략 전쟁으로 만들어진 국가입니다. 그리고 일본과의 문제는 미국의 잘못 또한 존재합니다. 자신들의 이권을 위해, 자신들이 전쟁에 둘어가려는 명분을 만들기 위해 수출 공격을 했습니다. 미국의 강함은 존경합니다. 하지만, 일본은 아시아 국가들의 근대화 및 자유를 선물해주었습니다. 일본에게 매우 감사합니다. 그리고 미국은 부디 자신들의 잘못부터 지적하고 남의 잘못을 지적했으면 좋겠습니다. 미국의 말에 군사적 힘에 들어있지 않았다면 아무도 듣지 않았을 어린아이의 논리입니다. 미국은 어른이 되십시오.

They consider themselves a "superior race" , in fact racism in japanese society is so ingrained, for them it's normal.

@bonk Japan wouldn't have won, China would've take massive losses (like every Chinese war lol check wiki) but China would probably still chug along once Japan depleted all their resources and caught up somewhere along the way. Japan before the global economy and trade did not have a lot of natural resources, they were lacking in oil and steel. Besides resources the Japanese army and navy were actually extremely divided and would actively sabotage each other and themselves and rarely cooperated for anything. They still did remarkably well on their own but it is part of the reason why the land invasion in China couldn't be sustained as the Navy straight up couldn't give a shit to send supplies by ships lmfao which meant their logistics is severely screwed.

The Tokyo Bombing using conventional bombs and incendiary bombs claimed more lives than the Nagasaki's nuclear bombing. It wasn't just the two nukes that made Japan think twice.
I always thought both world wars were fascinating. In ww1, it looked like the Central Powers would win, since they had more land but lost and called an armistice because they had no more resources. And in ww2, it looked the same, it looked like the axis wouls win but then in europe germany and italy collapsed, and japan folded when two nukes were dropped on them.
Interesting notes: This video begins with Manchuria already taken over by Japan from Chinese warlords, Korea and Formosa had already been taken over by Japan in 1895. China sounds to us like one entity but the government of the Republic of China was in an ever changing coalition with or against various Chinese warlords, a Red Chinese rebellion (that later took over as PRC) and a puppet Chinese regime with the same name and flag that was helping Japan. Really interesting, but sad and gruesome to millions of humans in China and elsewhere...🕯️
The Mario Mushroom sound was brillaint. The right mix of comedy and seriousness.
Still amazes me that japan and britain, was able to invade and conquered lands bigger than theirs....
You forgot a very important factor for Japanese’s surrender: August Storm.

Known whole story is so important before watching all nukes related movies.
Though weak at that time, China resistance was formidable. Otherwise it would have been colonized for 150 years like India.
"And the war is over" Mao: "Sure, I'll end it"
I remember hearing about one of my cousin's grandfather who fought in WW2 against the Japanese in northeast India from my father. During a cease-fire, a Japanese soldier stopped him and tried to talk to him. He killed that Japanese soldier and when he checked his bag there was only a small piece of ginger. He was probably hungry and begging for food.

Meanwhile, Yan Xishan turned from the governor of Shanxi under China to governor of Shanxi under Japan, and once Japan capitulated he recruited a huge number of Japanese troops to the nationalist Chinese side and fought with this army against Communist with more determination than Chiang-Kai-Shek until he was forced to retreat to Taiwan. There he became the de-facto leader and layed foundation for the modern Taiwan as an independent country/rebelious province (Depending on how you see them), since Chiang-Kai-Shek didn't care about the remnants of National army and simply stole the money reserve for himself. Then Chiang-Kai-Shek arrived to Taiwan and Yan Xishan instantly lost his position, and was forgotten to history by most. A man who always made the best decision for the small province he controlled, willing even to cooperate with the Japanese in order to keep it prosperous and neutral, and who achieved many successes in his governship of both Shanxi and Taiwan, earning the name of model governor for that previous achievement. Nowadays recognised by People's Republic of China as a governor who made correct decisions in stopping a plague that was spreading in Shanxi and into other regions of China.

Best summary I ever had on this topic, definitely helped me getting the puzzle
WW2 Ending : Germany and Italy surrendered now there's one country left in the Axis Alliance, back in 1936 Japan attacked China and stated expanding into Chinese Land More and more. then in 1937 China started getting some equipments from Allied Forces, so that is why in 1940, Japan attacked America and the Allied Forces from the Pacific Ocean and attacking on small islands under US and UK rules. Also attacked British India but lost the war. So British India also helped China by sending them huge ammount of troops and Important resources, Now China started pushing Japan. but it wasn't enough so Japan tried attacking USA because the America was helping China more than whole ALLIANCE, so Japan attacked Pearl Harbour and thought that US will end up here but USA wasn't going to end up too soon, USA wanted Japan to surrender so they nuked Japan 2 times and got some help from USSR, The United Kingdom and USSR started attacking from Northeastern China (Manchuria) And Defeated Japan pushed Japan back from Chinese Peninsula and captured Northern Korea and Northern China. USA also invaded some of the smaller islands which were occupied by Japan and Started attacking from South-east. Atlast Japan ended up surrendering. America now owns the southern part of Korea and USSR now owns the Northern part of Korea and that's how Korea got divided. there's more reasons why Korea got divided but that's 1 also . And now Axis powers has no nations so that is why Axis Alliance collapsed and WW2 officially ends up here. On 2 September 1945 Thanks 😊😊😊 😊😊😊😊😊
