Dense Jungle

Bare, volcanic islands with no cover

Kamikaze- A repeat of history?

Corruption of Bushido gets young men to volunteer

The “secret option”

The Atomic Bombings Hiroshima 70,000–80,000 people killed 70,000 injured Nagasaki 80,000 people killed Injured Unknown

Human “shadows”

The Surrender of Japan “Moreover, the enemy now possesses a new and terrible weapon with the power to destroy many innocent lives and do incalculable damage. Should we continue to fight, not only would it result in an ultimate collapse and obliteration of the Japanese nation, but also it would lead to the total extinction of human civilization. Such being the case, how are We to save the millions of Our subjects, or to atone Ourselves before the hallowed spirits of Our Imperial Ancestors? This is the reason why We have ordered the acceptance of the provisions of the Joint Declaration of the Powers.” –Hirohito, Japanese Emperor

The Surrender of Japan The Japanese military completely disarmed Removed government in power End of Japanese imperialism

The Cost Nearly 36,000,000 fatalities, roughly half the total military/civilian deaths during WW2 End of European colonialism, though France would not go willingly Overthrow of governments Economic and social upheaval Japanese power ended and the rise of U.S. in Asia as a superpower Beginning of the Cold War following WW2
