That has already been proven to not be true. The generals in charge of the war are on record saying the war was already over. The Russians were coming in from the other side and the Japanese were scared of them and were offering to surrender.

Do some research. Some of this stuff just became declassified about the surrender of Japan in the last few years. It's pretty outrageous what our govt. did.
