| In 1945 General Lemay subjected Japan to the Fire bombings of several of their cities. The fire bombing of Tokyo in particular took more lives than both A-bombs combined. The Japanese still failed to understand that it was eithier surrender or face total war.
They were given a chance after Hiroshima, they refused it. After Nagasaki they got the message. IMO it was the Japanese Goverment that caused this to happen to save face.
