[QUOTE="donner, post: 3142051, member: 277"] I agree it's impossible to say any one thing forced a surrender, but i do think the author makes some interesting points in regards to the japanese concerns about the soviets. The article i linked to is a very interesting read. I'll include a long, but relevant section below, discussing two options that Japanese had before the soviets entered the fight. (which, as you noted, does not point to a single moment, but rather a drastic change is circumstances and options). And like all things, i think the reality is complicated and somewhere in between. I just thought it an interesting counterpoint to the 'the bomb won the war' argument that we've always been taught. [/QUOTE]
